Did Tablerock Turn Over?

[snagged in outlet 3]

On the 27th the generation was off but the O2 levels didn't drop like previously.

I know it's early....Phil???

Not early at all but not sure it's been cold enough. Temperature is dropping too. I'd say by the chart it's in the process. I'd say it should this week or next.

I'll ask the hatchery what reading they're getting.

Clint at Shepherd Hatchery confirms there's movement in both water temp and DO levels at their intake.

The lake is in the process of turning.

Another fall season officially comes to an end and a new winter season is starting!!

In the past I believe there was discussion of shad kill when the lake turns over. Am I getting things confused, if not then why does the turn over cause a shad kill? Why not other fish? and obviously a large population of shad survive so how is that possible? This may have been addressed in the past but I don't remember reading about it. Thanks guys in advance for the biology lesson.
