Turnover: What it does to the fishing

Mixing depends on lake depth, exposure, weather and existing stratification; different basins may mix at different times, and flowing water need not follow a lake’s schedule. Check clarity, oxygen information, forage and fish locally. Bass do not all leave weeds or occupy one depth simply because the calendar says turnover.

Autumn cooling and wind can erode stratification and mix a lake. Timing and extent depend on depth, exposure and previous thermal conditions. Not every waterbody stratifies strongly, and different basins need not mix together.
