Largemouth Bass
Just south of Portland, Oregon City provides access to the Willamette River, offering decent largemouth bass fishing opportunities, especially in the back channels and sloughs. Focus your efforts in areas like the Clackamas River confluence or upriver towards Lake Oswego. The best time to target largemouth here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for structure like docks, pilings, and submerged vegetation. Flipping jigs and throwing crankbaits along these structures can be productive. The Willamette River can be busy with boat traffic, especially on weekends, so be aware of your surroundings. Several boat ramps provide access to the river, including those at Clackamette Park. The largemouth in the Willamette River are known to be opportunistic feeders. Water clarity can vary depending on rainfall, so adjust your lure colors accordingly. Darker colors often work best in stained water.
