A couple days back I was on a small lake I fish at this time of year. Typically the water temps at this time range between 49 and 56 degrees, well i had a temp of 67 degrees, way high for this time of year. Has anyone noticed this on the lakes you fish .

yep, temp on island lake north of daloot was in mid 60's this week as well. I kept turning it on and off to see if it was working correctly.

Go swimming! :-)

Last night I read on an outfitter's blog that some of their groups they sent out were swimming last week. Wouldn't expect that to be an Oct. activity up there :)

May be seeing a lot more crazy temps in the years to come.

I remember hiking up north last spring in early May, the temps were in the 80's and buds were not yet on the trees.

Is it possible to have two fall turnovers? I have had 53-58 degree water tems for the last 3 weeks from Duluth down to the Moose Lake area. I know a couple of the lakes had turned over before the warm spell. I wonder if the water warmed up enough that some the lakes will turn again?

I think its possible but unlikely to have two turnovers, because once the thermocline ruptures it would take quite a while with very high temperatures for the stratification process to regenerate, Im thinking a month or so at least. That being said these warm temps can significantly delay turnover in lakes that havent turned over yet.

I doubt that it's possible to have two turnovers, and do not think any lakes turned yet.
A few weeks back,lake temp readings indicated turnover beginning, but stopped when the warm spell moved in.
Burntside about 5 days ago had 59 degrees surface temp, 54-55 degrees in 20-30 FOW.

global warming is a bunch of lies
