Reaching lengths of no longer than 16 inches the bluegill is a sought-after fresh water game fish found in many parts of
North America. Mostly active during the dawn and dusk these fish feed mainly on snails, crayfish, worms and small minnows.

build nests or beds for eggs and spend a great deal of time guarding it.
