on their website.<\/a> <\/p>\nThe size of the lake, river, or even pond, and how much water is in it, defines how many trout can be placed. Less water means fewer trout, but it also means the water can warm up more quickly.<\/p>\n
Known for their skin shimmering like a rainbow in the sun, they are a cold-water species that does best when oxygen-rich water temperatures stay between 40 and 60 degrees. Once water warms into the 70s, trout become stressed, which is why trout fishing in Texas is limited to cooler months.<\/p>\n
Thermometers that use infrared technology to read surface temperatures are convenient. However, depending on the stream, the temperature can be significantly different below the surface. That\u2019s why a traditional thermometer for some fishers is an oldie but a goodie. <\/p>\n
