A bit more info from Handbook of Freshwater Fishery Biology Vol Two , Carlander pg 112 "Feeding occurred in winter in Buckeye L. , OH, ... with fat accumulating in the tissue. ... In aquaria no feeding occurred below 3.3 C ,and feeding in ponds has been found at 3.9 C. In ponds there was no growth and little feeding at temperatures below 10 C. In a Michigan lake , bluegills fed little in winter , and caldocera where the major food in mid-winter. "

10 C = 50 F
3.3 C = 37.94 F
3.9 C = 39.02 F
