Largemouth Bass
The Willamette River near West Linn is the heart of the largemouth bass fishery here. What sets this location apart is the river's diverse structure: docks, pilings, weed beds, and backwater sloughs all create excellent habitat. The best time to target largemouth is during the spring spawning season (late April-May) and again in the fall as they bulk up for winter. During the spawn, focus on shallow, protected areas. In the fall, target areas with abundant forage. A local tip: The Willamette Park boat ramp provides excellent access to the river, but be prepared for boat traffic, especially on weekends. The largemouth here average 2-4 pounds, but larger fish are certainly possible. Try flipping jigs around docks and submerged structure, or throwing topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening. Pay attention to the current; bass will often hold in areas where they can ambush prey.
