Bluegill
Bluegill fishing near New Underwood, South Dakota, can be a relaxing and rewarding experience, especially for families or anglers new to the sport. The smaller ponds and dams scattered throughout the area provide ideal habitat for these panfish. The best time to target bluegill is during the spring spawning season (late May through June), when they congregate in shallow water to build nests. Look for bedding areas in protected coves and near vegetation. A simple setup with a bobber, hook, and worm or cricket is all you need to get started. Fly fishing with small nymphs or dry flies can also be very effective. A local tip: some of the stock ponds are on private land, so always obtain permission before fishing. The bluegill in these smaller waters may not be trophy-sized, but they are plentiful and provide excellent table fare. Remember to only keep what you can use and practice selective harvest to ensure the population remains healthy.
