My CC were still feeding at 55 degrees water temperature and were very active at above 60. In fact they got very active as the water temperature started to drop in the fall. Almost like a bear before hibernation trying to pack on the pounds before the winter sleep.

But they might not grow as well as cool water fish. If fishing is not really his interest, that might not be a bad thing if they grow slower.

Just some of my thoughts. Don't know if they are right or not. I wonder how far north CC do well?
