Featured Fish - Bluegill

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.
