Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Gladstone, Oregon, centers around the lower Willamette River and its sloughs, as well as nearby lakes and ponds. This area offers a diverse range of habitats, from submerged timber and weed beds to docks and rocky shorelines, all holding bass. Spring is prime time, as the bass move shallow to spawn, but the fall can also be excellent as they feed heavily before winter. A local favorite is fishing the Clackamas River where it meets the Willamette – the confluence area often holds good numbers of bass. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks and structure. Consider using crankbaits or spinnerbaits to cover water quickly or flipping jigs around docks and laydowns. Be aware of the strong currents in the Willamette and always prioritize safety when boating. The bass population in the Willamette is healthy, and you can expect to find a mix of sizes, with the potential for some quality fish.
