Largemouth bass fishing near Millersburg, Oregon, centers around the Willamette River and its associated sloughs and backwaters. While not a trophy bass fishery, these waterways offer consistent action for anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target largemouth is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as they fatten up for winter. Look for areas with submerged vegetation, docks, and other structure that provide cover for the fish. Soft plastics, such as worms and creature baits, are highly effective, as are crankbaits and spinnerbaits. A good starting point is the Santiam River confluence with the Willamette. Bank access is available in some areas, but a boat or kayak will greatly expand your fishing opportunities. Water clarity can vary depending on recent rainfall, so adjust your lure selection accordingly. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the bass population.
