I just googled, lake turnover
this one he talks about 39 deg.

Recognizing Turnover
The surest way to determine if a lake is turning over is to check its temperature with an electric thermometer. When the turnover is in progress, the entire water column will be at the same temperature, give or take a degree or two. If you don't have a depth-reading electric thermometer, here are some other clues:
A sudden decrease in water clarity. Water circulation puts particles of silt and clay into suspension, so the water often looks "dirty" during turnover.
Clumps of decaying organic matter on the surface. The circulating action of the turnover causes material to break loose from the bottom. Sometimes you'll see large mats of brownish glop floating everywhere.
Baitfish distributed throughout the water column. Run a sensitive fish finder over deep water. When you see temperature-sensitive baitfish scattered at all depths it's a pretty sure bet that the turnover is under way.
