If you're targeting largemouth bass near Keizer, Oregon, focus your efforts on the Willamette River and its sloughs, as well as nearby farm ponds and reservoirs like Detroit Lake (a bit of a drive, but worth it). The best time to fish for bass here is during the spring spawning season (April-May) and again in the fall when they're fattening up for winter. Look for submerged structure, weed beds, and drop-offs. Keizer-area bass tend to be opportunistic feeders, so try a variety of lures, including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics. For bank access, try the Willamette River Greenway near Keizer Rapids Park. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall and dam releases, so check conditions before heading out.
