Largemouth Bass
While Sweet Home, Oregon, is better known for its lake and river fishing, you can still find largemouth bass if you know where to look. Foster Reservoir, just a short drive from town, holds a decent population of largemouth. Focus your efforts around submerged timber, weed beds, and rocky points. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the bass move into the shallows to spawn. During the warmer summer months, target deeper structure during the day and move shallower during dawn and dusk. A great access point is the boat ramp at Sunnyside Park on Foster Reservoir. Consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure that isn't visible from the surface. Local anglers often have success with Texas-rigged worms and crankbaits. The bass in Foster Reservoir can be somewhat pressured, so varying your presentation and using fluorocarbon leaders can help increase your chances.
