Largemouth Bass
Athena, Oregon, may be better known for its wheat fields, but it also offers some decent largemouth bass fishing in nearby farm ponds and smaller reservoirs. Bass fishing here isn't about trophy hunting; it's about enjoying a quiet day on the water. The best time to target largemouth is during the spring spawning season, from late April through May, when the fish are closest to shore and actively feeding. Fall can also be productive as the bass feed up before winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation or downed timber. A local tip: many ponds are on private land, so always seek permission before fishing. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly depending on irrigation needs. Look for the warmest water you can find.
