Largemouth Bass
For largemouth bass in Southern Oregon, consider exploring the waters around Riddle. While not a renowned bass fishing mecca, the local reservoirs and ponds offer opportunities for anglers. Galesville Reservoir, a short drive from Riddle, is a popular choice. What sets this location apart is the scenic beauty of the Umpqua River valley. Spring and early summer are prime times for targeting largemouth as they move shallow to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and rocky points. Plastic worms, jigs, and crankbaits are effective lures. A good starting point is the Galesville Reservoir boat ramp, which provides easy access to the main body of the lake. Be aware of the potential for fluctuating water levels, especially during the summer months. Local anglers often recommend fishing early in the morning or late in the evening for the best results.
