I've seen the bluegill start taking feed in SW PA at around 55 degree water temps.

I think it varies from pond to pond depending on how much the BG rely of feed vs. natural forage.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
