So around here we only have one lake close to us and there is all this green stuff on top of the lake now it's been raining a lot so the water temp has been up and down its been tough. So does the green algae stuff go all the down to the bottom of the lake or just on the surface? Anytime to get the northern pike biting

That green stuff is called an “algae-bloom”. It’s only on the surface of the water and suspends down a few feet. Depending on wind direction it can move in and out of certain areas. Probably due to the water warming up. It’s actually good for fishing since less light gets into the water and most fish tend to be more active.
