Species Overview

Bluegill

The bluegill is the most common sunfish in North America and often the first fish a young angler catches. Its deep body, dark ear flap, and iridescent blue-green colors make it easy to identify. A fierce predator of insects despite its small size.

Rainbow Trout

The rainbow trout is native to cold-water tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. Widely introduced worldwide, it is prized by anglers for its acrobatic leaps and beautiful coloration.
