Thermocline

[Russman]

Thanks Crappie! I couldn't figure out if it was in the 5-10ft range or 15ft.

It was 12ft down by Baileys Point last weekend

Is the Thermocline fairly the same in all surrounding lakes? I was wondering what it might be at Dale Hollow Lake.

I don't think Dale's thermocline is as shallow as Central Ky lakes. At least it wouldn't seem to be, given this July 18th TWRA report :


Reservoir Conditions: Fishing is fair and the water temperature is 87 degrees. The water level is at 647 feet and the lake is falling.

Smallmouth Bass: A few smallmouths are being caught at night on soft plastics and jigs while fishing points in 20 feet of water.

Largemouth Bass: Several largemouths are being caught on soft plastics while fishing drops in the rivers in 20 feet of water.

Walleye: A few walleye are being caught while jigging spoons on clay banks in 28-30 feet of water.

Trout: A few trout are being caught trolling with down riggers and spoons in 45 feet of water.
