While Oregon might be better known for its salmon and trout, the largemouth bass fishing near Barlow can be surprisingly good. The Willamette River and its associated sloughs and backwaters provide the primary habitat. These areas offer the warm, weedy conditions that largemouth love. Summer is the peak season, as the water warms up and the bass become more active. Try fishing around lily pads, submerged logs, and other structure with topwater lures, spinnerbaits, or plastic worms. A good access point is the Willamette River Greenway near Wilsonville, offering bank fishing and boat launch facilities. Keep in mind that the river can be affected by seasonal flooding, so check conditions before you go. The largemouth here aren't giants, but you can find some quality fish if you target the right areas.
