The water temp is colder now than it ever got last year.

Not to hijack this thread but will either of you elaborate on why the lower lake needs to have colder water for a period of time to be considered a good time to fish it? Thanks!

Colder water equal less energy from fish, less energy from fish equal fish not fighting the current, fish not fighting the current equal fish going thru the spillway, fish going thru the spillway equal fish in the lower lake, and fish in the lower lake equal fishing considered good.
