The best cranks for the bluegill are SR5 shad raps and Lucky Craft Clutch DR crankbaits. The Bass really love the Luckycraft SKT MR's. Hope this helps! Robbie

Robbie is THE guide at Richmond Mill. Pay attention to what he says. Today, we caught 40 fish at Richmond Mill Lake, King Fisher Society. 43 degree water, 72 degrees as we fished. Robbie knows the lake, he knows how to catch fish.

I've fished with Robbie, and he is unquestionably one of the best bass fishermen I've been around.
Bluegill also like the Strike King mini.

I throw those SK MINI's constantly at my house.. It seems the lighter on color I go the less I get for bites..

My favorite Strike King Mini is the largemouth bass pattern, and I also love the brightly colored bluegill pattern. For some reason that particular hook has a great hookset percentage. Richmond Mill bluegill go boinkers over it.

Anybody ever fly fish Richmond Mill ? Seems like that would take the experience to a whole new level. Bass fishing is boring to me w/o a challenge. Bluegill on a crank bait?..  Have fun, G/

Yes, George, they do. Fly fishing there is a blast in April-June.
You've got a shot at 5-7 lb bass, bluegills from 3/4 to 2+ lbs, black crappie, redbreast sunfish up to 10 inches, fliers up to 3/4 lb and roaches up to 10 inches. On most days in the spring, you'll catch chain pickerel from 10-20 inches, too.
Yesterday, in 43 degree water, we caught 40 fish. 6 bass from 4-7 lbs, 2 crappie, a redbreast, and 31 really nice bluegills. Smallest was 9 inches, 3/4 lb, most were 1.5-1.75 and one was 2.25. We caught them on jigs, fish suspended in 5-7 feet of water.
Oh, those giant bluegill love to hit a little crankbait, too. I've caught quite a few when sampling to get some hook and line lengths and weights.

Bob, glad to hear about fly fishing attraction - fly fishing is the fastest growing segment of fishing industry is what I am hearing.
Richmond Mill should be an upscale destnation for fly fishermen.
Good luck on your program.
