Bluegill — Naturalist Field Plate | Printable Fish Wall Art

Bluegill · Lepomis macrochirus

A museum-quality naturalist print of the Bluegill, illustrated in the tradition of vintage natural history field guides — with accurate taxonomy, a native range map, and true-to-life detail. Researched from trusted sources and composed with care.

Every Ashborn plate is built the way a naturalist would have wanted it: the correct order, family, genus and species; a faithful range map; and the details that reward a closer look — the dark gill flap that gives the fish its name, the deep compressed body, the barred flanks, and the shallow nesting colonies swept clean in the sand.

For a great many people this was the first fish — caught from a dock, on a worm, as a child. It is a sunfish, and a close relative of the largemouth bass, but built on an entirely different plan: a flat, deep disc that can turn on the spot among weed stems where a longer fish would have to swim past.
