I think common sense is the best action in this case. I went out to a foothills stream, beforehand I checked water level and when I got there took the temperature. The level was in the normal range for this time of year and the temp was 55 F. So caught plenty of feisty fish. When I shut it down at 1:45 the water temp was 60 F. A couple of years ago I tried to fish a different stream. When I got there the level was really low and the water temp was 70F. I did not fish and as I was leaving saw a small trout float by belly up, maybe someone fishing upstream.
