Bluegill
Thompson, North Dakota, provides access to some solid bluegill fishing, particularly in the region's smaller lakes and ponds. These waters often offer sheltered environments where bluegill thrive, and are perfect for a relaxed fishing experience. The best time to target bluegill here is during the late spring and early summer spawning season, when they congregate in shallow, weedy areas. Look for them around docks, submerged vegetation, and near the shoreline. A helpful local tip is to use small jigs tipped with waxworms or mealworms under a bobber. Adjust the bobber depth until you find where the fish are holding. Bluegill in this area tend to be relatively plentiful, making it a great spot for families and beginner anglers. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population for future fishing trips, and be mindful of any local regulations regarding size and bag limits.
