what is the maximum water temperature for fishing lake trout
Trout require dO2 of 3ppm to survive. When water reaches a temperature of 75 degrees fahrenheit 3ppm is the maximum dO2 the water can hold with out some form of turbulence to enhance gas exchange (oxygenation). At water temperatures above 75 f with no oxygenation of the water the trout will suffocate. The dO2 super saturation water temperature is 32 f. Water temperature also controls the troutâs metabolism. While very cold water can hold the maximum of dO2 it also slows the troutâs metabolism to the point of suspended animation ( a cryogenic effect ).
