Largemouth Bass
While Cove, Oregon, might not be the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass, the small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the Grande Ronde Valley offer surprisingly good bass fishing. These are often overlooked, providing less pressured fishing than more popular destinations. The best time to target largemouth here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-September). Focus on areas with vegetation or structure, as these provide ambush points for the bass. Local anglers often have success with weedless rigs and topwater lures early and late in the day. A practical tip is to check with local landowners for permission to access smaller, private ponds, as these can hold some real hidden gems. The bass in this region tend to be relatively small, but what they lack in size, they make up for in aggression.
