Grass Valley, Oregon, offers some excellent Largemouth Bass fishing, particularly in the smaller reservoirs and ponds dotted around the area. These often-overlooked waters can hold some surprisingly large bass. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas with structure like submerged logs, weed beds, and rocky points. As the water warms in the summer, switch to deeper presentations. A local tip is to try fishing the smaller, less-pressured ponds that require a bit of a hike to reach; these can often hold some real hidden gems. Access to some of these areas may be limited, so be sure to research beforehand and respect private property. The largemouth in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective, from topwater frogs to crankbaits and Texas-rigged worms. Don't be afraid to experiment to find what the fish are keying on.
