Bluegill
If you're heading to Hemphill, Texas, for some bluegill action, you're in for a treat. Toledo Bend Reservoir is the main draw here, and it's known for its healthy population of slab-sized bluegill. Spring is prime time, when they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged vegetation, docks, and cypress trees in coves and creeks off the main lake. A simple bobber and cricket combo is deadly, but don't overlook small jigs or beetle spins. As the water warms into summer, bluegill will move deeper, so adjust your depth accordingly. A local tip: The Pendleton Bridge area offers good bank access, but be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. Also, water clarity can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains, so check lake conditions before you go.
