It's when the water switches from top to bottom. The water on top goes to the bottom and the bottom water comes to the top. The temp of the water is what triggers it. Someone on here can probably say for sure but I believe it's when the water on top reaches 39 degrees.
I don't know where I got the number 39 (I thought I read that somewhere) from but here is what I found on Google.
This mixing occurs when the surface temperature of lakes reaches 50 to 55 degrees F. When the lake's water reaches this temperature, the surface water becomes denser than the other water in the lake's water column and sinks.
