Bluegill
If you're near McDonald, Kansas, and looking for some bluegill action, the area's small reservoirs and farm ponds offer some surprisingly good fishing. These smaller bodies of water can warm up quickly in the spring, making for an early start to the bluegill season. Look for shallow, weedy areas and around submerged structure. A simple bobber and worm or cricket setup is often all you need. Small jigs and poppers can also be effective, especially during the evening hours. Local tip: many of these ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. The bluegill in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different baits to see what they're hitting on any given day. While you might not find giant bluegill, the consistent action and peaceful surroundings make for a relaxing and enjoyable fishing experience.
