It was a perfect day, sunny, blue sky, no wind at all. The lake was a perfect mirror. Trees, houses, the cloyster doubled in the lake. Perfect.
But at home, when stitching the pictures, i had to notice that at the bottom row of the pictures some wind has come up. So the structure of the water had changed from glassy to waves. There is a clear viewable border between glassy and waves 
Must be redone completely at the next sunny and windless day.

Hi Christian,
That’s a very pretty scene.
This problem with water texture has happened to me, too. One trick that sometimes works if you have overlapping images shot with a wide lens, is to output to a PSB file with pictures embedded. Then, in the water area, make a wide zig-zag mask to blend two overlapping images.
I did that in three places in this Lake Louise panorama. Look carefully and you can see the zig-zags of separate water texture.

I tend to load my problematic water surface into photoshop and use surface blur filterand some brushing / masking to smooth the water 
Cheating but can work nicely if you need to recover a pano that has bad water.
I duplicate the layer with the water, use the surface blur filter on the whole layer, add a layer mask and invert it (to empty it) then gradually smooth out the bits of water that need smoothing by brushing in with a low opacity brush. This is an example of such a shot where I had to smooth the boundaries between images due to change in water patterns. It is there if you look but doesn't jump out at you:

The other options of course include using neautral density filters for long exposure or multiple image stacking to smooth the water. This is an example of such a shot (no surface smoothing at all):
