Checked weather forecast for my BOW: 86/70 this Monday, gradually cooling down 23 degrees by next Monday to 63/47.

Question: Supposing this forecast turns out to be right, how much of a turnover/stress threat is this cooldown for my fish? Does it make any difference that it is spread out over a week, as opposed to just a day or two?

I know my TP will survive as water temps won't fall below 55, but they will undoubtedly become sluggish and maybe the LMB will feast. Also on the plus side, I can begin fishing for the HSB without so much fear of killing them.

But how worried should I be about the chill? And for those who live north of me, where the chill will hit even harder, how should they prepare?
