    Default Thermocline on Truman?


    Has anybody found a steady Thermocline on Truman? If so what depth are you seeing it at? I couldn't find a defined one last weekend. Thanks for any feedback.

    For sure a thermocline last weekend on the Osage arm of the lake. It was between 7' and 7 1/2' down and really noticeable when away from the channel on the flats. Wish I was in my boat to see what it looked like or if I could even see it on my 360 imaging. Could easily see it on my buddies Lowrance unit while on the main lake flats. Did not notice it as much or at all on the screen while in a couple creeks that we fished. But I don't think we caught a fish deeper than 6'-7' down while in the creeks. So I imagine it was still there.

    Thermoclines can get broken down by high winds. They reestablish quickly after though.

    Hope to see no current or heavy winds for a little while. Thermocline puts them fish right where I like them. Shallow!!! Can fish so much faster if you only have 6' of a tree to worry about having a fish on it instead of 12'-15' of tree to try and cover to find where they are at.

    Wow, I didn't think it would be that shallow. I saw a line on my graph around 8 ft just didn't believe what I was seeing on my graph because I thought it would be deeper than that. Thanks for the help. Good luck this weekend.

    It all depends on water clarity. The clearer the water, the deeper the thermocline.

    I wonder depth it is at on the lower lake in the clearer water. Up where we were at was about 3"-4" visibility.
