Hey Michael.. we have algae blooms of all sorts here in the majority of Wisconsin waters. From what I've gathered over the years the depth of the algae itself can vary throughout the water column from a bunch of different factors but the two big ones are sunlight and nutrient levels (phosphorus & nitrogen) of the water. The stuff can actully adjust its depth to move where levels of both are relatively good.. and that could vary from waves, storms, boat traffic, run-off, etc., ..
On a side note, there have been times where I've seen some stiff suspended water on the sonar above the thermocline of a few lakes when a heavy bloom had occured... If you ever see this its a good place to have your baits running.
