Bluegill
If you're headed to Phenix City, Alabama, for bluegill, you're in for a treat. The Chattahoochee River and its backwaters offer excellent habitat. Focus your efforts in areas with abundant vegetation, submerged timber, or rocky structure – these hold the insects and crustaceans bluegill love. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the fish move shallow to spawn. As the water warms, they'll retreat to deeper, cooler areas. A simple bobber and worm rig is always effective, but don't overlook small jigs or insect imitations. Pay attention to water clarity; if the river is muddy after a rain, move to clearer backwater areas. A local tip: the area around the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers park below the dam offers good bank access. Remember, bluegill here can be surprisingly selective, so experiment with different baits and presentations until you find what they want.
