Thought that was "skunk" moss? Happen to know what that nasty stuff is? Usually brown and black and smells awful.

I have caught a lot of fish in it on Toledo. You just have to fish a frog or senko so it doesnt mess your bait up This slime sticks to any thing. Soft plastics too. Head of bait comes back covered in green slime.
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

If you keep the bait on top it will not stick to it. Atleast that is the experience I have with it. A few of our good spring spots have it on them every year. You just have to keep the tip of the senko from getting down to low. If it gets around the head of it it will stick. Same thing with the frog you cant let it sink you have to be reeling when it hits the water.

It's floating slime on Pines. Wind blows it around. It was up on the bank prior to the water rising, now it's just floating around.
On the Rocky lakes you can fish above it. Broken Bow has it out deep on the bottom. Beaver Lake had some a few weeks ago in 20-30'.
