CC and RES do not prefer and eat much in 40F-45F water if you had ice recently. That leaves only 400 BG for active as cold water feeders in an whole acre of pond. IMO fish won't become very active for eating worms on hooks until the water reaches 50F and easily catchable when water is 55F. Be patient for a little warmer water that should in MO arrive in 2-3 weeks.
