I don't know what the water temps are in the Martin tailwaters during the heat of summer(maybe you could check it out the next time you fish down there), but trout prefer temps in the 50s. Temps in the 60s are marginal, and anything much above 70 is bad news. However, I don't see why some enterprising fisheries students over at Auburn couldn't breed a "super trout" that grows to 40 pounds and can survive higher water temps. I just hope that they don't give it some obscene name like the "war eagle" trout. By the way, have you ever caught any smallmouth bass in Middle Pond? That is where those smallies that Luvtohunt catches came from. They were stocked in the early 80s, and obviously a population was established.
