I checked last weekend here in SD. Absolutely no activity on the bluegill beds yet. Last year's colonies had algae, etc., on them. Smallies are just finishing, and schools of black fry are swimming up. The largemouths aren't even on the nests yet, but that has to be any day now.
Bluegills in Nebraska were just starting to come onto the beds last week. We plan to do a habitat assessment of nesting colonies next week down there.
