Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic bluegill action in the Ozarks, Big Flat, Arkansas, offers several smaller lakes and ponds that are teeming with these panfish. The Buffalo National River watershed is prime bluegill habitat, with many smaller, calmer bodies of water branching off from the main river. Spring and early summer are particularly productive, as the bluegill move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged vegetation and fallen trees. A local tip: many of the smaller ponds are accessible via gravel roads, but be prepared for some bumpy terrain. Also, smaller presentations are key - think small jigs or live crickets under a bobber. The bluegill here aren't necessarily huge, but they are plentiful, offering consistent action for anglers of all skill levels.
