Largemouth Bass
While Fossil, Oregon, may not be the first place that comes to mind for largemouth bass, nearby reservoirs and ponds offer surprisingly good fishing. Several smaller bodies of water in the surrounding area, often found on private land (so always seek permission!), can hold decent populations of largemouth. Spring is the best time to target them, as they move into shallower water to spawn. Look for weed beds, submerged timber, and other structure where the bass might be hiding. A Texas-rigged worm or a spinnerbait are good choices for these conditions. A local tip is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, especially during the warmer months, as the bass tend to be more active during these times. Due to the limited public access, scouting and asking local landowners for permission is key to finding productive fishing spots.
