One more thing. Very carefully look at the bluegills that you are putting in. MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALL BLUEGILL! A very common thing is for someone gathering fish from the wild, not to be careful and they introduce green sunfish or pumpkinseeds -- which you don't want.

In fact, it can get tricky in that there are hybrids of bluegills X pumpkinseeds or bluegills X green sunfish out there that look almost identical to pure bluegills. Adults should be easier to differentiate.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
