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 troutâs metabolism. While very cold water can hold the maximum of dO2 it also slows the troutâs metabolism to the point of suspended animation ( a cryogenic effect ).
Lake Trout are cannibalistic and you will find small trout close to the bottom in very deep water avoiding big trout in shallower water or close to the surface. The small trout above was caught in 50 feet where large trout are feeding. Note the teeth marks as this little gut got a second chance. Large trout have been known to pin bait fish against the ice using the ice like other fish use the bottom. End of season hunting is no time to finesse with small lures. This is the time to bring out the big hardware with a lot of flash, flare and rattle. Years ago, anglers would lure large fish to cut-outs in the ice with large decoys and either catch them with live bait or spear them.
