Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing near Hermiston, Oregon, centers around the McNary Pool on the Columbia River and several smaller irrigation reservoirs and ponds. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are ideal for targeting largemouth here. Look for fish around weed beds, docks, and other submerged structure that provide cover and ambush points. The bass in this region tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective. One local tip: try fishing the sloughs and backwaters off the main channel of the Columbia; these areas often hold good numbers of bass, especially during the spawning season. Also, be sure to check the water levels and clarity, as these can fluctuate due to irrigation demands. The largemouth in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight.
