Anyone hear or know anything about? It says that it thrives in lake / river water at approximately 115 degrees. At roughly 70 degrees current lake temperature, can anyone board of health weigh in on this? I always duck completely when in the lake. Keeping ones head above the water seemed uniquely odd to me.

It is safe to say that the lake will not reach 115 degrees so it will not be thriving here. I am sure the chances of catching it here is probably similar to winning Powerball or getting struck by lightning.
Go on with your life!
