Seasonal Activity Chart
Bluegill
For some panfishing action, look no further than the bluegill around Lake City. The slower-moving backwaters and oxbow lakes connected to the St. Francis River are prime habitat. These fish are eager feeders throughout the warmer months. Crickets and worms are reliable baits, but small poppers and dry flies can also be effective, especially during the early morning or late evening. Look for bluegill around submerged vegetation and fallen trees. Several county roads provide access to smaller lakes and sloughs off the main river channel. Remember to practice catch and release with larger bluegill to help maintain a healthy population. Be aware of snakes in the area, especially near the water's edge.
