Bluegill, most popular fish

The bluegill, known for its superb taste, is Northern Indiana's most popular fish Much of the bluegill's popularity with area fishermen is due to the fact that it is present in nearly every Hoosier lake, and is usually the most abundant game fish in each lake The bluegill, along with 10 other species found in Northern Indiana, is a member of the sunfish family Bluegill can be distinguished by their olive green color dark vertical bars along their sides, and a dark spot on the rear part of their top fin Perhaps the best distinguishing charac teristic, however, is the coloration on the ear lobe, which is always solid black Bluegill usually congregate in loose schools near weed beds in shallow areas of the lake During their peak spawning period in mid-June. they often crowd into dense schools over gravel and sandy shorelines Here, the male bluegills fan out bowl-shaped depressions in the bottom, usually about a foot in diameter, and entice the female into lay mg her eggs Once the eggs are fertilized, the male bluegill continues to fan the nest, keeping the eggs clean and aerated A single female bluegill may by as many as 20 thousand eggs, and this prolific nature makes it unnecessary to impose restrictive fishing regulations It also causes some problems, however Bluegills sometimes produce more young than a bke can support. When this happens.
