Fall turnover

[dpage70]

When the lake is turning over head for the pockets and creeks. Find water that is shallower than what the thermocline was. The water that is shallower than what the thermocline was can't turnover since, well, no thermocline. The oxygen levels will stay pretty consistent there and the fish that are there will keep on eating as normal. As far as spring turnover, well there is no such thing. The turnover is related to thermocline which sets up in the early summer and dissipates in the fall.

Good point.

There is a Spring Turnover. It occurs when cold surface waters warm until they reach the temperatures of the bottom waters, producing a fairly uniform temperature distribution throughout the lake. When this occurs, winds blowing over the lake again set up a full circulation system, this mixing known as spring turnover. As the warming continues, the three water layers (epilimnion, Thermocline, and Hypolimnion) again become established.
