Bluegill are small, colorful sunfish common in freshwater lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers across North America. They have a distinctive dark spot at the base of the dorsal fin and exhibit a range of colors from blue to orange. Bluegill feed on insects, small fish, and plants, and are a favorite among anglers, especially for teaching children to fish.
