Hybrid Bluegill
Hybrid bluegill is an excellent choice, especially when the stocking objective includes large bluegill or to provide fishing for young (or older) impatient fishermen.
The most popular and successful cross for stocking ponds/lakes is the bluegill male X green sunfish female. These hybrids possess characteristics of fast growth, hybrid vigor and are more aggressive in their feeding habits, which increase their vulnerability to angling. This strain has a larger mouth than true bluegill sunfish and readily consume commercial fish food as their primary diet, which is why they will out-grow true bluegill sunfish; but the difference is slight when not feeding a commercial fish food.
Hybrid bluegill are not sterile, as sometimes claimed. They do reproduce but approximately 80% of the population are male.
The major disadvantage of hybrid bluegill is their inability to reproduce sufficient numbers of off-Spring to provide an adequate food chain for the normal bass stocking recommendations.
We sell several sizes of hybrid bluegill to accommodate any stocking objective or budget concern.
Hybrid bluegill are well adapted to cage culture.
