Largemouth Bass
Targeting Largemouth Bass near Eugene offers a unique experience, as the fishery isn't as heavily pressured as in other parts of the country. Focus your efforts on Fern Ridge Reservoir, a local hotspot known for its healthy bass population. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged vegetation and woody structure. As the water warms in the summer, they'll retreat to deeper, cooler areas. Fall can be productive again as the fish feed heavily before winter. A key tip is to pay attention to water clarity; Fern Ridge can get murky, so use lures that create vibration and flash. The Orchard Point boat ramp provides good access to the reservoir.
