Bluegill
For bluegill enthusiasts visiting Belvidere, South Dakota, the smaller farm ponds and reservoirs offer the most consistent action. These often-overlooked waters can be teeming with 'gills, especially during the warmer months. Spring and summer are the best times to fish for them, particularly during the spawn when they're concentrated in shallow water. A simple bobber and worm setup is highly effective, but small jigs and poppers can also produce. Access to many of these ponds is private, so always ask for permission before fishing. The bluegill in this region tend to be relatively small, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Look for areas with submerged vegetation or structure, as these provide cover and attract bluegill. Local tip: try fishing near any inlet or outlet, as the moving water can attract baitfish and, in turn, bluegill.
