Bluegill
Looking for some classic bluegill action? Scottsville, Virginia, and the surrounding waterways offer plenty of opportunities to hook into these panfish. The Rivanna River, with its slow-moving sections and abundant cover, is a natural habitat for bluegill. Lake Monticello, though private, is also known for its impressive bluegill population. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are your best bet. Look for shallow, weedy areas where the fish are bedding. A simple worm under a bobber is hard to beat, but small poppers or dry flies can also be very effective. For the Rivanna, access is available near the Route 20 bridge; wade fishing or using a small boat or kayak is ideal. For Lake Monticello, access is limited to residents and their guests. Local tip: Bluegill in this area tend to be on the smaller side, but they are plentiful. Try using a very small hook and light line to maximize your hookups. Don't be afraid to experiment with different depths until you find where the fish are holding.
