Have any of the lakes in the area turned over? I'm especially interested in Clearwater. I didn't think it was cold long enough up there, but wind usually helps and I know you had some of that!
I will be up there on the 29th and I hope the lakes don't turn over when I'm there.
Also how are the water levels?

I haven't heard of any turnover in the Metro area... maybe someone else could chime in for other parts of the state.

Some of our small lakes have started the process, around here
and some of the lakes are way up from the rains, but it has
been cold for about a week with a couple days of snow, soon it
will be time to get out the short poles. Chris

I'm not sure, but can someone give me a few ideas on how to figure out if it has or not? I would like to check BSL this weekend.
Thanks,

The biggest clue is just a drastic change in water temps. The reports I have been seeing for the area still have most lakes in the mid to high 60's. The magic number I have heard is about 50 degrees.
When they turn over they will take about a 10 to 20 degree drop in a short period of time. The other clue is the water color will turn darker because of algae, silt and decaying mater. This could also be caused by rain and or wave action from high winds which usually help to turn over a lake.
Here is a good article I found on the subject.

What is meant by "lake turnover"? How and why do lakes do this in autumn and spring?

I have just got off a metro lake and the water temp was 51, Today is Tuesday the 23rd. No
they have not turned over yet. The first thing you will notice is the smell. It smells like garbage only worse. I bet they will turn over for Metro lakes in the next week or so.
After turnover give it a rest for 6-8 days then hit them hard. The Bass will hit spinner baits, swim baits and crank baits.
Now is the time to catch the bigest Bass of the year.
Bass Wishes,
Mike
