Bluegill
For some fantastic Bluegill action, look no further than Lake Geneva. The lake's shallow, weedy areas are perfect for these panfish. Target the edges of lily pads and submerged vegetation with crickets, worms, or small artificial lures. Spring and summer are the prime times to fish for bluegill, as they are actively spawning and feeding. A practical tip: use a small hook and light line for the best presentation. Also, be mindful of the wind, as it can push bluegill into sheltered areas. Public access is readily available, and the lake's bluegill population is known for its abundance, making it a great spot for anglers of all skill levels. Expect to catch plenty of fish in the 6-8 inch range, with the occasional larger specimen.
