Lakes that have a lot of vegetation (that dies back every winter) or trees, leaves will have the decay. The gas is methane, I have heard stories that if you are real careful on a very calm day, you can actually hold a lighter close to the water and the bubbles will cause little flames when they pop. I've never tried to bust that myth, but I'ld bet someone on here has tried it!  If they have not they sure will now!!

It is a gas that is emitted from rotting vegetation. I have heard a couple of old timers refer to this as swamp gas. My grandfather told me once when he was younger, he was hunting raccoons one night alone and he saw a semi bright glow literally come out of the water very slowly and just sorta hover around in the air for a little while. And after a few minutes is just kinda dissipated away.

I think you should try and bite the bubble next time and let us know how it smells and taste. We can then give a clearer answer.
