Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass near Drain, Oregon, look no further than the Umpqua River and its associated sloughs and ponds. This area offers a variety of bass habitat, from weed-choked backwaters to submerged timber. Spring is a fantastic time to fish, as the bass are actively spawning in the shallows. Focus on areas with reeds or lily pads. Summer can also be productive, especially during early mornings and evenings, fishing topwater lures or working the edges of weed beds. Fall sees the bass feeding aggressively before winter. A good access point is the Scottsburg County Park, which provides boat access and bank fishing opportunities. The Umpqua River can be subject to fluctuating water levels, so be sure to check conditions before heading out. The bass in this area respond well to a variety of lures, including plastic worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. Local tip: Don't overlook the smaller, less-pressured ponds and sloughs adjacent to the main river channel; they can often hold some real hidden gems.
