do you think trout would stop eating when they get forced into a hole like that? Say it’s a spring, or a river inlet, and the trout found a teeny tiny section of water which they could hold over in through the hottest months, do you think they may stop eating to conserve energy? I know it sounds counterintuitive, but maybe the act of digestion/foraging would increase their body temp to a point where it would shut down, so they simply live off the reserves and expend zero energy for anything but breathing? Kind of like some fish when they enter spawn?
