I used to belong to a sportsman's club that had a stocked trout pond. This time of year it was very common for fish to start going belly up as the water got too hot. If it rained a lot no problem as numerous streams would bring the cooler rain water into the pond but after a hot spell and no rain , the trout would die a dozen a day. We used to encourage people to catch all they could before the water got too hot. The native fish survived no problem but the trout couldn't take the heat.
Cool swims in the ocean are great but no way i would go wetsuiting in the ocean around here anymore. "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."
