Bluegill
Oak Hill, TN, offers several small ponds and creeks perfect for a relaxing bluegill fishing trip. Radnor Lake State Park, while primarily known for its hiking and wildlife viewing, also provides decent bank fishing opportunities for bluegill. These fish are most active in the warmer months, from late spring through summer. Look for them around weed beds, lily pads, and submerged structure in shallow water. A simple worm and bobber rig is a classic and effective method. Small poppers or dry flies can also be productive, especially in the early morning or late evening. Access to Radnor Lake is free, but be aware that fishing is catch-and-release only. The bluegill in these smaller waters may not be huge, but they are plentiful and offer a great way to introduce kids to fishing. Remember to check the park regulations before you go, as there may be specific rules regarding fishing.
