Every body of water that freezes goes though two turn overs. Once before it can freeze, and once shortly after it thaws. But the algae at Strawberry is not comming to the surface because of turn over. The days are getting shorter, and the algae cannot produce enough food through photosynthesis to survive. It is dying, just like the leaves on the trees are changing colors as they die.
Turn over doesn't start until the surface of the water gets closer to 39.2 degrees farenheit. The last time I heard, the water was still in the 58 to 59 degree range at Strawberry.
