Largemouth Bass
Gresham, Oregon, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing, primarily in the smaller lakes and sloughs connected to the Columbia River floodplain. These waterways, often overlooked, can hold some real surprises. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around weed beds, lily pads, and submerged timber. A practical tip: Try targeting the backwaters of the Columbia Slough near Marine Drive; kayak access is available, allowing you to reach areas inaccessible to larger boats. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so spinnerbaits and soft plastics rigged weedless are excellent choices. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, impacting access and fish location, so check conditions before heading out.
