Bluegill will eat fatheads, especially fathead fry and juvenile fatheads.

Of course, they'll also eat bugs.

If you implement a feeding program, bluegill will take to that very quickly. That's why I mentioned that you have several months of bluegill growth you could get before winter truly kicks in here in Western PA.

I did read that a fishery wasn't your primary goal for the pond, so you may not be interested in this aspect.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
