Largemouth Bass
If you're looking for largemouth bass near Dayton, Oregon, focus your attention on the Willamette River and its associated sloughs and backwaters. These quieter areas offer the weed cover and structure that bass love. Spring, particularly pre-spawn (late March-April), can be phenomenal as the fish move into shallower water to prepare for spawning. Early mornings and evenings are prime times. Another productive period is the fall (September-October) as bass feed heavily before winter. For bank access, explore the areas around Dayton City Park and look for trails leading to the river. Be aware that the Willamette can experience significant fluctuations in water level, so check river conditions before you go. The bass in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures like spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics can be effective. Don't be afraid to experiment to see what they're hitting on any given day.
