Freshwater fish. Lives in aquatic vegetation and sunken trees and brush piles of shallow backwater rivers, lakes and ponds.
They can also be found in the shade of piers, swimming rafts, tree‐shaded shores, where the overhanging limbs cast a shadow upon the water’s surface.
Bluegill are opportunistic feeders and will feed on insects, insect larvae, small crustaceans and worms.
FISHING: Use worms, crickets, mealworms, small jigs, spinners, miniature insect crankbaits or flyfishing tackle (flies, poppers, worm imitations).
