I do not believe fall turnover occurs until the water temperature gets below 40 degrees.  How cold was the water?


I did some research on this from the DNR website as I remember more than a few posts on lake water temps for turnover from this forum. The DNR lists the tipping point as 39 degress Fahrenheit. We definitely didn't have those temps --- probably upper 50s to 60 degree water maximum temps.

In contrast, I was just on Snowbank, Disappointment and water temps were fine and fish were biting :) so I think the problem fixed itself.....starting to think "portable fish finder again....."
