Largemouth Bass
Oakridge, Oregon, while better known for its trout fishing, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass opportunities. Hills Creek Reservoir is the key here, a large impoundment on the Middle Fork Willamette River. Its structure, including submerged timber and rocky points, provides excellent habitat. Look for bass holding tight to cover, especially during the warmer months. Spring (late April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times, as bass are actively feeding before and after the heat of summer. During the summer, fish deeper water, especially near the dam. A local tip: the reservoir levels can fluctuate significantly, so check conditions before you go. The boat ramp at Hills Creek Forebay is your best bet for launching. Bass in Hills Creek tend to be on the smaller side, but the numbers can make for a fun day on the water.
