Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Differentiating between male and female bluegill

Your description of the hybrid is EXACTLY what mine looks like. I've also found that RES seem to spawn on the next deeper shelf or tier than the BG. When I'm fishing pits that have both during the spawn I'll catch the male BG in spawning colors at a certain shallow depth and I'll catch the male RES in spawning colors a little deeper.
