Largemouth Bass
Gervais, Oregon, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, primarily in the sloughs and backwaters connected to the Willamette River. These areas, often overlooked, can hold some chunky bass, especially during the warmer months. Spring (April-May) is prime time as the bass move into the shallows to spawn, and again in the fall (September-October) as they fatten up for winter. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, downed logs, and any kind of structure that provides cover. Bank access can be limited in some areas, so consider exploring from a small boat or kayak to reach the more secluded spots. Be aware of water levels, especially in the spring when the Willamette can flood these backwaters. A local tip: try fishing the sloughs just after the river starts to recede from a high-water event – the bass will often be concentrated in these areas, feeding aggressively on dislodged baitfish.
