I'am fishing in some power co. cooling lakes in Illinois and i was just thinking with the water temps staying in the 50's in winter do the fish"pike\eyes" spawn in the spring like normal or do they spawn in the winter.so i guess my ? is do fish spawn in warm water lakes spawn based on season or temp?

most fish spawn according to water temps and sunlight factors so i would imagine fish might spawn a little earlier in these ponds than in normal situations, my brother is a fisheries major up a nmu i will ask him what he thinks and let you know.
