My first fishing trip was at Massebesic Lake in New Hampshire. We caught a few small Bluegill. The Bluegill is not native to New Hampshire, but can be found allover the state in warm, quite, weedy spots. You can identify it by the distinct dark ear flap (without a border or orange spot). It also has a blotch on the back of the dorsal fin and a long pointed pectoral fin. Bluegill also has a very small mouth.
