If you're looking for largemouth bass near Cornelius, Oregon, Hagg Lake is your primary destination. This reservoir, just a short drive from town, offers decent largemouth fishing, especially during the warmer months. Spring (April-May) is prime time as the bass move shallow to spawn, and again in the fall (September-October) as they feed aggressively before winter. Summer can be productive too, but you'll need to fish deeper structure during the heat of the day. Access is easy with several boat ramps around the lake. Note that Hagg Lake can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly or try fishing during the week. A good local tip is to focus on the submerged timber and weed lines, especially along the western shore. The bass here tend to be in the 1-3 pound range, with occasional larger fish. Consider using weedless lures like Texas-rigged worms or spinnerbaits to navigate the cover.
