Largemouth Bass

Coburg, Oregon, offers convenient access to several waterways harboring largemouth bass. The Willamette River, flowing nearby, holds bass, though targeting them specifically requires focusing on backwater sloughs and areas with submerged vegetation. Fern Ridge Reservoir, a short drive west, is a more consistent bass fishery. Spring is the most productive season, as bass move shallow to spawn. Look for them around docks, flooded timber, and weed edges. Summer can still be good, but you'll need to fish deeper during the heat of the day. For Fern Ridge, the Orchard Point Recreation Area provides good access and boat launching facilities. A local tip: Carolina-rigged worms and jigs are effective for targeting bass in deeper water around Fern Ridge's submerged structure. The bass in these waters tend to be relatively pressured, so experiment with different presentations and lure colors to find what works on a given day.
