Bluegill
If you're looking for some classic Bluegill action in North Dakota, the lakes and ponds around Souris can be surprisingly productive. These fish are most active during the warmer months, typically from late May through September. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation, docks, or other structures that provide cover. Small jigs tipped with waxworms or pieces of nightcrawler are classic and effective baits. A local tip is to try fishing near the edges of weed beds in the early morning or late evening for the best results. Many of the smaller lakes in the area offer easy access from shore, making it a great option for anglers without a boat. While the Bluegill may not be trophy-sized, they are plentiful and provide excellent fishing for all skill levels.
