Below you will find scientific papers on the combined effects of water temperature and angling for various trout species.

Scientific papers are referred to by the last name of the author and the year the paper was published (e.g. Smith 2022). For papers with two authors, both are listed (e.g. Smith and Smyth 2022); papers with three or more authors list the last name of the first author followed by “et al.” (meaning “and all”; e.g. Smith et al. 2022). We have done the same here and listed paper alphabetically by species.
