Just courious about when you folks think that Butla, Sardis, Enid and Nada actually turn over and the top becomes the bottom and bottom the top.How long does this occur on average and what lakes are effected the worst?From my experience with deeper, clearer Tennessee lakes, fishing get really tough till the lakes restratify and the fish become active again. Would also like to hear about other lakes in the Tri-state area so I can plan to fish lakes that haven't already done so.:dono
Been fishin butla for50+ never heard of it turning over. It has current most of the time.
Its tooo shallow to turn over.:)

Agree on the Coe plus Ross Barnett. If any were to truly turn over, it would be Grenada in the heat I summer after a long still period of severe drought. That said, Grenada has never truly turned over, IMO.

I believe the Barnett does have a fall turn over.. Usually in Oct.
Don't know about the Coe lakes though.
Shaddup Chappell before I get mad at you.
Think the disagreement is in the definition I the term "turnover".
A real turnover involves a fish kill usually and with the constant current in Barnett that's not likely. I think you mean when the upper water column is warmer and or colder than the bottom.
Don't make me come up to nada catch your one fish.. Bud
Well I guess I understood the ?? Different. You might want research the subject again W..lol
I guess that means it doesnt have a thermocline either ??
We have a lake turn over every year on the Rez.
It only last for a couple of days.
I agree with MrJim. Big 4 shouldn't have a turn over because the usually start drawing water before it starts to get cold and the current flow through the lake mixes the water enough that I docent get a chance to stratify. Yes in the summer with a lot of water and lower flows you will have a thermcline. Just read a couple of good posts on Mo board a few weeks ago written by their loco Lake area Bioligist.
