Bluegill
Black Rock, Arkansas, is a fine place to target Bluegill, especially if you're looking for a relaxing day on the water. The Black River offers plenty of backwater areas and quiet pools that hold good populations of these panfish. Spring and early summer, particularly May and June, are prime times to fish, as the Bluegill are spawning in shallow, protected areas. Look for bedding sites near vegetation or submerged structure. A simple bobber rig with a worm or cricket is hard to beat, but small jigs or flies can also be very effective. Local tip: try fishing near the old mill site; the submerged structure there provides excellent habitat. The Bluegill in this area are known for their decent size, often exceeding 8 inches.
