Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass in a classic Pacific Northwest setting, Clatskanie, Oregon offers some intriguing options. The sloughs and backwaters connected to the Columbia River, like those near Westport, provide the most promising habitat. These areas are often overlooked but can hold surprisingly large bass. Spring and early summer, when the water warms up and the bass are spawning, are prime times to target them. Focus on structure like submerged timber, lily pads, and docks. Spinnerbaits and Texas-rigged plastics are local favorites. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate dramatically depending on the Columbia River's flow, so check conditions before you head out. A small boat or kayak is ideal for accessing these more secluded spots. The bass here aren't pressured as heavily as in some of the more popular Oregon lakes, so you have a good chance of finding some quality fish.
