“In Texas, these fish have gotten used to these types of intense heat events throughout history. But this is particularly hot.”
Texas beaches in June
While the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hasn’t found any “fish kills” — localized die-offs of fish — in Central Texas, Patrick Ireland, a fisheries biologist with the department, said there is a limit to how much heat any given species of fish can tolerate. The National Weather Service issued several Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories for the Austin area asPopular sport fish like largemouth bass and sunfish will seek deeper waters or shaded areas to try to keep cool and avoid the solar radiation. Those shaded areas can be near rocky shorelines, under docks or by man-made sunken brush piles. When the fish find a good spot, they can basically hover in a stationary position.
But any fish, including the largemouth bass and sunfish, swimming through shallow streams won't have access to the cooler spots typically found in larger lakes or ponds.
