Mr. Smith, Trout of course are cold blooded creatures and their metabolism flutuates with the water temp. to a point. As the water warms, they are forced to feed heavily to keep up with their increased metabolism. However, at some point the food intake will not equal the energy required, and the fish will enter a dormaint state to conserve energy. At this point, food is the last thing they are thinking of. This sounds like what's happening. If the warm water temperatures continue, they will start dying once they've used up their energy reserves (fat and muscle tissue). Pray for rain! Hooker
