Fishing in Alaska
Panfish populate virtually all warm water streams, ponds and lakes
throughout the world. They can survive in waters that provide their
natural food source of minnows, crustaceans, insects and worms.
Their competitive nature amongst themselves for food, makes them
relatively easy to catch.
Panfish are prolific spawners and repopulate the waters as fast
as they are harvested. A common problem with panfish fishing is
that the waters are under-fished causing panfish to overpopulate.
As a result they tend to stay small in size due to lack of food
source.
The list of panfish is comprised of many fishes each called by
a variety of names. The bluegill tops the list and is the most common.
Bluegill
Lepomis macrochirus
Other local jargon names for the bluegill include common yellow
perch, sunfish, red-breasted bream, red-spotted sunfish, long-eared
sunfish, white bass as well as a host of variations and cross breeds.
These fish tend to run in schools and congregate near their food
supply. Panfish can be found in depths of 35 feet or more but are
more commonly found in one to ten feet depths depending on time
of day and weather conditions.
