temp rise to bring crocs on

the next time the temp gets up should the crocs start feeding

if so how long will temp need to stay stable and what temp approx

depends on depth and flow of water.........

an also if its snow melting even doe its warming up outside the running water/snow melt is still cold.also salt of roads ect flushing in drains / rivers av affect to.better leaveing a few days,check water clearing abit an then thats the best time i think.pike dont like fast flooding water because of all the silt upturned ect?

i'd say it will take 4-5 days of temperatures around 5 degrees (day and night) before they really start feeding.
of course i could be wrong

I'd almost go along with but that could just be a geographical thing Rob. I would say a week of stable water temp. around 6 degrees, so I'm not far off your observation. It's too close to be a coincidence, don't you think?

They could be feeding now but we'll not know until the temperature goes up.......because there's a ice top to all the stillwaters. Had a ride around today and didn't see anyone fishing on the river, everywhere else was frozen.

yup agreed... its the same nearly every year.
although the temperature can be a steady 2 or 3 degrees for a few days and they'll start to feed a bit more. i'm looking forward to next weekend as long as the met office forecast is right, it should be interesting
