They bed around 62 degrees (if I remember right) but at 57 to 58 the fish are moving shallow to get ready. With a small pond, a few days of 60 or 70 degrees the pond really warms fast. Good luck.
Thanks for the info guys. Was also wondering how long the fish will stay on the beds once they have moved onto them. Thanks.
