I agree. In spring if the water warms up and then we get a cold front
dropping the water temps into the 50s, the fish will crowd together at the
bottom. Come fall as the water temps cool down slowly they won't do this
till the water temps is 45F or less. ~ jan


A couple thoughts...

When water temperature drops
fish slow down and hang out. You might want to
find a floating thermometer and
see what your temperature is.

I have a kingfisher that visits my
pond. He can come and go when I'm
gone and I won't see him, except for
the fish he drops. But the fish will
stay spooked for a time after his
visits. All the sign he leaves is a tiny
oil slick and a floating feather ;-)
