Bluegill
Warner, SD, offers surprisingly good bluegill fishing if you know where to look. Forget the big reservoirs; instead, concentrate on the smaller, quieter ponds and sloughs scattered throughout the area. These smaller bodies of water often hold impressive populations of panfish. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are prime times to target bluegill. Look for shallow, weedy areas where they congregate to build nests. A simple bobber and worm setup is often all you need for success. However, don't be afraid to experiment with small jigs or artificial flies. A local trick is to use a small ice fishing jig tipped with a wax worm under a bobber. Access can be tricky as many of these ponds are on private land, so be sure to secure permission beforehand. The bluegill in these waters can be surprisingly large, often exceeding 8 inches, making for a fun and rewarding fishing experience.
