A few years ago we had pond temps in Indiana like that when air temps climbed over 100 F. for days on end. My yellow perch sulked on the bottom and the bluegills slowed down, but the smb were active! Couldn't believe it! Went against everything I had heard about smb!
Cody Note: I agree as long as the oxygen stays high the smallmouth bass will tolerate the 90+ degree water. Aaron Matos also proved this by raising SMB in a small Arizona pond.
