Very interesting.  I've never been to this lake, but from the sounds of it, it has a very low width-to-depth ratio.  The "violent turnover" theory could be a good one: with the current high pressure system sitting over the West there's been very little wind for weeks.  Combine the lack of wind aeration with what's probably a meager aquatic plant base, short days, cold temperatures, and a lot of fish, and this happens.

I'm very interested to see what they find through further testing.  The oxygen depletion is only going to persist further with all those rotting fish on the lake bottom, so it sounds like this fishery is all but done for a while.
