Usually it's a fuzzy line at the same depth all the way across your screen.

as much water flow as we generally have on the Tennessee River you want see much of one except in the back of the creeks and bays that don’t have much flow and are shallower ! Unless it’s a very hot summer dry summer I haven’t seen much of one on Guntersville !

Most "flowages" (rivers & reservoirs) do not thermocline per say. Moving water, just like wind in our atmosphere, mixes the layers - in most cases. Thermoclines usually occur most often in large, deep water lakes and ponds, with little or no main current flow. Nothing, however, in nature - or fishing - is emphatic, as you know.

thermocline images are typically similar and appear as a haze per say that's rather definitive and typically does not have a single fish below the line it appears to hold .
when you can find one it takes a large part of the water column out of the equation and makes for some jim dandy crappie ketchn

A strong thermocline most of the time there less distinct.

This and I'll add it will typically form first in the lower 1/3 of the reservoir IF it forms in the main channel.

60' is a deep one. The two lakes I fish where they form one it will form 12-15' and the other one around 8'.
