The Mount Angel area provides a few smaller, lesser-known freshwater locations that hold largemouth bass. Focus your efforts on local ponds, sloughs associated with the Willamette River, and small private lakes (with permission, of course). These aren't trophy bass fisheries, but they can provide enjoyable action, especially for bank anglers. Spring is the peak season when bass are spawning in the shallows. Target weed lines, lily pads, and submerged structure with spinnerbaits, plastic worms, and crankbaits. A key local tip is to fish during the early morning or late evening hours, especially during the warmer months, as the bass tend to be more active then. Don't overlook the value of smaller presentations, as the bass in these smaller bodies of water can be finicky. A lightweight spinning setup with 6-8 pound test line is ideal.
