Cloudy layer in the water??

[sir pikealott]

Wondering if anyone could shed some light on this? Was checking on one of my jobs in riverbend (Calgary). Decided to check out Carburne Park for a couple hours (always have my fishing gear in the truck). Dropped my camera down the first hole drilled and it passed though a "Cloudy" layer about 3 to 4ft above the bottom. It was about 2ft thick and as far as the eye could see. Every hole I looked at was the same thing, thick cloudy layer. Anyone seen this at any other lake and know what it may be?? Thanks.

It could be ice melting under neath the ice and bottom

flood water getting in the hole will cloud it up; so will turnover
cheers

Turnover is what came to my mind. I was in 15-25ft of water and it was consistantly at that 3-4ft off the bottom.

thermal inversion warmer water passing thru colder water.

Maybe you had a dirty spot on your shades .

[mark-edmonton]

Its called the thermocline. A level between thehigher and lower temps of the water column.

I thought of turn over, and thermocline, I didn't think you could actually see the thermocline layer though? Pretty cool. Reminded me of flying in a plane and coming down through the clouds. Thanks for your input. I did clean the screen a couple times..........never thought of my shades though BIGBADJOHN

I have seen it to. Wondered about it at the time - never did figure it out.

Normally, you cannot see the thermocline and normally there wouldn't be one in the winter under ice. Temp should be about 4 degrees from the bottom to the top.
