Ain't evolution a gas?
As the fish expand their horizons, they will gradually adapt to the cooler water. It may result in an expanded range for the fish, and an expanded season for us. The drawback might be a slower growth rate, but I can't say for sure since I'm not a biologist.
(I'm just using existing knowledge compiled from studies of freshwater bass comparing north vs. south growth rates.)

I do know they have found spawning bass in the Mystic River, so it is possible.
