Largemouth Bass
Happy Valley, Oregon, while known for its suburban setting, offers some pockets of largemouth bass fishing for the determined angler. The key is to focus on the smaller lakes, ponds, and sloughs that are tucked away within the area. These often-overlooked spots can hold some surprisingly decent bass. Spring is an excellent time to target spawning bass in the shallows, while summer evenings can provide exciting topwater action. Try fishing near Milport Pond or exploring some of the smaller, unnamed ponds in the surrounding area. A helpful tip: Pay attention to water clarity, as these smaller waters can become murky quickly after rainfall. Use lures that create vibration and noise in stained water. Be respectful of the surrounding neighborhoods and adhere to any posted regulations. Largemouth in these smaller, urbanized waters can be quite pressured, so stealth and finesse are often crucial for success.
