Foggy morning

At 6:30am the fishermen start to come out on the lake. This morning it was very foggy but that doesn't seem to bother them.

The last couple of weeks, the lake has been smelling pretty bad and it looked like there was green slim in the water. A couple of days ago I learned a new saying. "Lake Turnover" Evidently, that is what has been happening to our lake. During spring when the ice melts and surface waters warm and sink until the water temperature at all depths reaches approximately 39 degrees. The sinking combined with wind mixing causes spring turnover. In the autumn, as air temperatures drop so does the water temperature of the upper layers of a body of water. As these upper layers cool, they become denser and heavier. They become cold and heavy enough to the point that they begin to sink. As the heavy dense layer sinks it displaces the water at the bottom forcing the lower layers to the surface. It is amazing how mother nature even takes care of her lakes.
