Bluegill
For bluegill enthusiasts visiting Emory, Texas, the smaller lakes and ponds surrounding Lake Fork offer fantastic opportunities. These waters often hold impressive populations of bluegill, providing consistent action throughout much of the year. Spring is an excellent time to target spawning bluegill in shallow, weedy areas. Use crickets, worms, or small jigs under a bobber. During the hotter months, focus on shaded areas near docks, vegetation, and submerged structure. A key local tip is to pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use lighter line and smaller hooks. If the water is murky, slightly heavier line and brighter colored baits may be more effective. Public access to some of these ponds may be limited, so always check for signage and regulations before fishing.
