Slabby,

Smaller acreage water bodies can and do stratify in Kansas. For instance, Leavenworth State Fishing Lake is only 160 acres but it stratifies heavily so much so that a destratification unit was installed to help increase the amount of productive water during the growing season.

Chatt's 'shallow' may be different than my 'shallow'! The meaning of the term is probably somewhat dependent on the acreage of the lake. A 10 foot deep 1 acre pond is pretty 'deep' but a 10 foot deep 5000 acre reservoir is pretty 'shallow'.
