Bluegill
If you're after some relaxing Bluegill fishing, Lillington, NC, offers plenty of opportunities. The numerous ponds, small lakes, and backwaters associated with the Cape Fear River provide ideal habitat for these panfish. Spring and early summer, during their spawning period, are the best times to target them. Look for bedding areas in shallow water near vegetation. A simple setup with a bobber, hook, and worm or cricket is all you need. A local tactic: try using small poppers or dry flies near dusk for some exciting topwater action. Bluegill are abundant in this region, making it a great place to introduce kids to fishing. Remember to practice catch and release on larger specimens to help maintain a healthy population. Also, be aware that many of the ponds are on private property, so always seek permission before fishing.
