	Bluegill
		Bluegills have disc-shaped bodies and, in South Dakota, average 4 to 5 inches (10-13 cm) in length.
		Bluegills were native to lakes and slow moving streams in the eastern part of the state, but have been widely introduced in suitable waters.
		Bluegills also play an important role in the food chain by providing abundant forage for large predatory fish such as northern pike, walleye and largemouth bass.

		Later in the summer or early fall, bluegill hide in the rock rip-rap, under floating logs, undercut banks, in stickups, fallen trees, or brush wherever there is good cover offering shade and abundant food.
		Bluegill generally build nests in colonies in water two to five feet deep, where there is a hard mud or sand bottom.
		During winter months, bluegill are generally found in shallow water (2 to 6 feet deep) in and around brush; but they may move into deeper portions of the creek beds, bottomland lakes or bays at other times.

		Most bluegill are light to dark olive, though older fish may have a purplish tinge.
		Bluegill large enough to be of no interest to bass often swim freely in more open water, feeding heavily on tiny drifting zooplankton.
		The pumpkinseed can be distinguished from the bluegill by the bright orange spot at the tip of the ear flap and the lack of a dark blotch on the soft portion of the dorsal.

		Bluegill will reach 1 to 2 inches in length on the average in their first year of life.
		Bluegills found in ponds usually don't get as large as the ones that live in lakes because in ponds, their growth is often stunted due to lack of food from overpopulation.
		Bluegill are not randomly distributed in a lake, but rather they concentrate into specific habitats, depending upon the season.

	Bluegill
		Bluegills are well known for "bedding" in large groups, with their circular beds touching one another.
		Bluegills congregate in schools and tend to live close to structure such as submerged trees, rocks or weedbeds, docks and even the shoreline.
		Though bluegills may sometimes be caught through the ice in late winter, they generally do not begin feeding actively until water temperature warms to 50 degrees F. They feed on insects, crustaceans and small fish, relying heavily on scent to help them verify prey items.

	Sunfish management: Minnesota DNR
		Bluegill are one of the largest, most popular and most widespread sunfish not only in Minnesota, but also in the nation.
		One approach is to remove small bluegill; but this sounds easier than it is. During the 1940s and `50s, fish managers tried seining bluegill to reduce their numbers but couldn't remove enough fish to make a difference.
		In a more successful attempt to reduce the number of bluegill and increase their size, the DNR treated a lake with a toxicant in such a way to kill most small bluegill while sparing the larger fish.

		Bluegills originally ranged from southern Ontario and south through the Great Lakes and Mississippi drainages to the Gulf of Mexico, to northeastern Mexico and Florida, an up the coastal area to the Carolinas; however, widespread introductions have greatly extended their range in North America.
		Bluegills do not tolerate continuous high turbidity and siltation, but thrive best in warm, clear waters where aquatic vegetation or other cover is present.
		Bluegills begin nesting in the spring after the winter temperature has reached about 65 degrees F. Spawning may continue as late as August or September although the spawning peak occurs in June.

		Bluegills are just under half as deep as they are long, and they are very narrow, with even the largest of the species under 1-inch thick.
		Bluegills are intolerant of low oxygen levels and are among the first to die off from winterkill conditions (lack of oxygen in water under frozen lakes).
		Because bluegills are low on the aquatic food chain, have a low fat content and live relatively short lives, they do not accumulate toxic chemicals or metals in their flesh to the extent that larger, longer-living predator fish do.

	Fishing for Bluegill
		Bluegills are closely related to largemouth bass, and as you might expect, anywhere there are bass there is an excellent chance bluegills will be present.
		All of these reasons extend bluegill as a popular angling fish, but the major factor is abundance, for bluegill harvest is not limited by daily bag or size limits.
		You can find water with keeper bluegills by asking other anglers, conservation officers, area fisheries biologists, state and county park rangers, pond owners, or for that matter anyone that is familiar with the body of water in question.

		Bluegills are often taken on popping bugs and dry flies because they sometimes feed on insects "hatching" at the water's surface.
		The spawning season for the bluegill starts in late May and goes into early August, (peak spawning is in June) at water temperatures of 19-27° C (67-80° F).

		Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is the dominant fish species in a 67-ha cooling reservoir for a nuclear reactor on the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
		Mortality and breeding season of bluegill were strongly influenced by reactor operations, which often produced temperatures of 40-60°C in portions of the reservoir.
		Factors that contribute to the success of bluegill in this system include high thermal tolerance, broad diets, and an ability to breed when thermal conditions are appropriate, regardless of season.
