Bluegill
If you're looking for some relaxed bluegill action, Farmer, South Dakota, offers several smaller lakes and ponds that are often overlooked but can provide surprisingly good fishing. These waters warm up quickly in the spring, making for excellent early-season bluegill activity as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for weed beds and submerged timber in these smaller lakes; the bluegill will congregate there. A simple bobber and worm setup is hard to beat, but small jigs tipped with waxworms or mealworms can also be very effective. Local tip: Check out the smaller, unnamed ponds on public land that aren't heavily fished. Access can be tricky, so be prepared to do some walking. The bluegill in these smaller waters tend to run a bit smaller on average, but the sheer numbers can make for a fun day of fishing. Also, be aware that water levels in these ponds can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall, so check local conditions before heading out.
