The theme for this year's series is Animals.
The animal highlighted in Delhi is the Bluegill.

Bluegill (Delhi)

Cast your line into a shallow pool on the Huron River and you are likely to catch a bluegill. Named for the blue streaks on its gill covers, Bluegill are often the first fish caught by beginning fishermen. Watch out for the protective spines on its back. Any bait or lure that will fit in the fish’s tiny mouth will work. If you don’t catch any Bluegill, remember that is why they call it “fishing” not “Catching”.

The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment.
