Bluegill were taken at all stations but were rare. This species occurred
exclusively in pools, usually near cover (brush or trees in the water).
Bluegill are predominately pond-fish in Kansas, and populations in
rivers may consist partly of individuals that escaped from ponds in time
of overflow. I know of no stream in Kansas that has a population large
enough to contribute significantly to the sport fishery.
