Miller Lake is located in LaPorte County, Indiana and is known for its abundant supply of fish species, especially largemouth bass, northern pike, and bluegill. The area offers various activities such as hiking, biking, and bird watching. To increase chances of catching fish, it's recommended to use live bait or lures such as spinnerbaits and jigs. The best time to visit is during the summer months (June to August) with average temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F. It's important to note that fishing is only permitted during daylight hours.
Fly fishing for bluegills has become increasingly popular, and light tackle anglers have long found it to be one of the best action fish, ounce for ounce, that can be caught. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish: The Bluegill has a greatly compressed, round (in profile) body that is typical of the sunfishes. Its color is highly variable and many range from dark blue or bluish-purple to yellow, and in some cases, (notably in quarry holes) it may even appear to be clear or colorless. Usually, there are 6-8 vertical bars on the sides, which may or may not be prominent. The gill cover (operculum) peaks into a broad, round flap that is black in color; however, it is not surrounded by a lighter colored trim as it is in some other sunfishes. It has the small mouth and head that are typical of sunfish species. The pectoral fins are pointed.
