I was at Rough River lake yesterday and found that the Fall Turnover had started (at least in North Fork). The surface temperature was 69 or 70 degrees everywhere I went. The surface had been in the high 70s before and I am pretty sure before it was around 73 at the thermocline which was around 25 to 30 feet. The water is definitely mixing but I don't think it has gotten all the way to the botton of the deeper areas yet. The coves and side creeks had that tell-tale pea green color but the main channel areas was still pretty clear. I still caught seven nice bass in the shallows of some coves--all on crankbaits.

With more below normal temps predicted there should be a full scale turn over soon. Then let the fun begin in a couple of weeks. Has anyone noticed if Nolin, Barren or Green have started turning?

Our God and the soldier we alike adore.
But at the brink of danger, not before:
After deliverance, both alike requited,
God is forgotten, the soldier slighted.
