Utah's game fish: Bluegill
Description
The bluegill is one of the most colorful fish in Utah waters. Colors may range from light to dark blue and sometimes, in older fish, bright purple. Other colors appearing on the fish may be olive-green, yellow, bright orange, copper or brown. An area behind the gills is often a bright orange or yellow. Color variations are a results of genetic strains and, in some cases, hybridization with other sunfish species. Also look for dark vertical bars and black flap at the end of the gill cover. Sometimes, young bluegill, raised in clear water, are almost colorless. This fish, too, has sharp spines that can cause pain when grabbed.
