Bluegill
Russell Springs offers some classic Kansas bluegill fishing. The area's farm ponds and small lakes are ideal habitats for these panfish. For consistent action, target areas with submerged vegetation or near docks and fallen timber. Bluegill fishing peaks in the spring during the spawn, when they congregate in shallow water to build nests. A simple bobber and worm rig is always effective, but don't overlook small jigs or poppers for a bit more of a challenge. One local tactic is to use crickets or grasshoppers, which are readily available in the area and a favorite food source for these bluegill. Remember, many of these ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. Early mornings and late afternoons are typically the most productive times.
