Lake turnover explained

[Ketchn]

When the upper water column temperatures go down in the fall the upper water column falls , the lower column replaces the upper and this causes the effect known as "lake turnover".
this is a simple version of the process and to be sure it varies greatly in some places.
Some lakes smell terrible when it occurs and almost all of them lose clarity to the point of it looking almost like muddy water .
the fishing often gets tough and in some spots it seems to shut them down completely, one thing for certain when it occurs , I have yet to see a great bite , but all is not lost , fish can still be had.
most lakes will recover in about 2 weeks or so and in the meantime, dont worry yourself much about it , some fool will still be out there hammering them .....
Case in point , they would ONLY bite 5 different colors at the lake we visited yesterday during its biannual turnover ....
and then ya"ll almost thunk this would be an information post ......
KABOOM is the word btw ....
