I stock rainbow trout, RBT, in early December. They last until mid to late May, when temps get too high even at depth for them to tolerate.

Last week water temps were in the 50s and the RBT were feeding vigorously on food pellets. Last couple of days temps have warmed, water in upper 60s low 70s during the evening. LMB, HSB, and CNBG going crazy on feed, but not a trout to be seen. Up until today, feeding times were only 1pm and 6pm. Now I've added 2am, mostly due to food depredations by Canada geese.

Query One: Will trout be more willing to feed when water is cooler at 2am? Like most smaller waters, my surface temps can vary 10F from night to day, depending.

Query Two: How does night feeding affect CNBG & LMB? Are some of them willing to eat feed after dark that won't during the day? Or is it pretty much the same fish, night or day, that chow down?
