For Largemouth Bass near Lyons, the Santiam River and its associated sloughs and backwaters offer the best opportunities. While not a trophy bass fishery, you can find consistent action, especially during the warmer months. Look for areas with heavy vegetation, submerged timber, and undercut banks. Spring and early summer, during the spawn, are prime times. Topwater lures, such as frogs and buzzbaits, can be incredibly effective in these weedy areas. A local tip is to explore the sloughs and back channels that branch off the main river; these areas often hold less fishing pressure and can produce some quality bass. The bass in this area tend to be opportunistic feeders, so don't be afraid to experiment with different lure presentations. Access to the Santiam River can be found at various parks and boat ramps along its course. Be mindful of the current, especially during periods of heavy rainfall.
