Thermocline question, I was wondering since a lot of our lakes have been extremely high water and now they are being drained back down with that kind of current going through them can the lake still produce a thermocline layer? I would think that the current would prevent this from happening.
I would like to know also.
I think it's setting up in our lake.
This heat wave is helping
Looks like it is setting up on xkiller also.
8' to 9' in Gaines Right Now. Very visible on your locator even with the current. Surface Temks are 89 degrees......Ranger
Oologah is 8-12 in the creek 15-20 main lake.
Thermocline is a function of water temp for sure but, a stong enough current will likely clear it up. It is, after all, a lack of oxygen in the water.
We saw it on Texoma last week at about 15' as I recall.
Ranger do the fish hang out just above it and also bite there ?Quote:

Thermocline was around 15-16 ft on the upper end of Broken Bow this past week in most places.
Kind of like this.

Guy's I watch the thermocline come and go every year on Wister and the lake water level has been higher longer this year then I've ever seen it and the thermocline has been worse after the water has gone back to normal so I guess the lake water level staying up as long as it has did make a difference this year and made for poor fishing when it usually is great this time of year and the fish I was fortunate to catch were all suspended above the thermocline which made spider rigging and pulling jigs and crank baits the ticket to catching big fish and numbers of fish. As always that's just my experience and opinion. Thanks. WSD
