CJBS's experience with walleye in warm water is parallel to what I see in NW Ohio. Walleye survive year round in our local warm, muddy river. As long as the oxygen (DO) is adequate and above (3-4pm) walleye will survive in warm water (90-95F). IMO most of the problems with walleye and SMbass not surviving in southern regions is not due to temperature but low DO. Low DO even for short periods is death sentence for 'cool water fishes'.
