If you're looking for some fun bluegill action near Bloomfield, New Mexico, Navajo Lake offers plenty of opportunities. These panfish are abundant throughout the lake, particularly in the shallower coves and around submerged vegetation. Spring and summer are ideal times to fish for bluegill, as they spawn in the shallows and are actively feeding. A simple setup with a bobber, hook, and worm is often all you need to catch plenty of fish. Small jigs and artificial flies can also be effective.

The bluegill in Navajo Lake are generally a good size, making them a fun target for anglers of all ages. They're also great for introducing kids to the joys of fishing.
