DO jumped up from .1 to 1.6 last night/this morning. Only 6 degrees separating top temp and “bottom” temp. Time to head up lake

Looks like it may have just been a head fake.

It seems to do that sometimes from what I have seen. Shoot up, then drop, then shoot up/down, etc. It has “started” but hasn’t turned yet.

The top and bottom temps were no where near each other, and neither was the DO. Way too soon for a turnover.

Only 6 degrees separating the 2. And another jump up in DO today. It’s starting to mix just haven’t completely turned. We may be in for a slow turnover like a couple years ago.

I think the unseasonable warm weather is slowing it down a bit. Its mid October and still flirting with 80 degrees some days. Haven’t been bitten by them cool fall temps yet.

Still climbing this morning. With some lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s this weekend it should be finished by mon/tues I would imagine. But we will see.

It doesn’t seem like we’ve had cool enough temps to explain the sharp rise in bottom temp/DO. Just a guess, but I think the fact of all the water being pulled lately may have something to do with expediting the process. The river has been running steadily at over 11000 cu ft / sec for a while now.

I agree with Striper Skiff. I will be very surprised if the lake turns over Mon/Tues. That would definitely be an exception based on recent history.

If we go by “recent” history looks like we are right on schedule. 2 of the last 5 years it has come the 3rd week of oct. With with the other 3 years being in sept, dec, and nov 1st. Only consistent data we have had has been end oct.
Everyone has their own opinions. I just like messing with you rick. Tight lines buddy…lol…

I think this year is definately unique. I would have normally predicted a late turnover, but I still think running all that water from the towers changed things. With the recent fairly moderate temps it’s hard to imagine anything else that would explain a “bottom” temp rise of 8 degrees in 5 days. The rise in bottom temp seemed to level off after they cut back the flow on the 14th. But, we do have some cooler weather on the way that you would think will be bring the top temp down.
My guess…
Tues Oct 27!!!

Geeez…OK then. Everyone just pick 2 days of the week you predict turn over will happen. LOL

Saturday/Wednesday. In that order.
Cooler weather is here.
Just looked at the tables. With respect to water temp, we’re closing in with a top of 68.5 and bottom of 65 or so. The bottom d.o. is 2.2 with a top of 6.2. Still a ways to go there, but it has definitely started. We marked numerous thermoclines. I think complete turnover will occur by Halloween.

Oct 28th, 11:52am. It’ll be a boy.
Had another big jump today around noon in the bottom DO. I thought it was on…lol…jumped from just under 2.0 all the way up to a little over 6.0, but it came back down to around 3 I believe…
And just under 3 degrees separating the temps.
It’s Def starting to mix pretty good
