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.

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 :)

quote MagicStik: "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?
MagicStik " 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.

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.

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.
