Largemouth Bass
While Johnson City isn't exactly known as a Largemouth Bass hotspot, there are some smaller ponds and sloughs in the surrounding area that can provide decent bass fishing. Focus your efforts on private ponds with permission or explore some of the sloughs connected to the Willamette River further west. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn. Look for weed beds, lily pads, and other structure where bass can ambush prey. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and plastic worms are all effective. Keep in mind that these are generally smaller bodies of water, so stealth is key. Try to avoid making a lot of noise and use lighter line. Given the limited public access, focus on gaining permission to fish private ponds. While the bass may not be huge, the quiet and solitude can make for a pleasant fishing experience. Check Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for any local rules or restrictions.
