If you're looking to hook into some Largemouth Bass near Lebanon, Oregon, you'll want to focus your efforts on the local Willamette River sloughs and nearby farm ponds. These interconnected waterways and smaller, privately-owned ponds offer diverse habitat that supports a healthy bass population. Spring is prime time, as the bass move into shallower water to spawn. Early mornings and late evenings are particularly productive. Summer can be good too, if you target deeper, cooler water with slower presentations. For a local tip, try accessing the Willamette via the Albany-Santon Canal; it provides easy access to some great bass habitat. Remember to check for private property restrictions before fishing in any of the ponds. The bass here tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of lures and techniques can be effective, but don't be afraid to experiment with topwater frogs and buzzbaits in the thick vegetation.
