Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass fishing in the Wheeler, Oregon, area requires a bit of a drive inland as the coast is not prime bass habitat. Head east towards the Tillamook State Forest, where you'll find smaller lakes and reservoirs that hold bass. While these aren't known as trophy bass fisheries, they offer a fun day of fishing in a scenic setting. The best time to target largemouth bass is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. Look for areas with structure, such as submerged logs, weed beds, and docks. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all effective lures. Access to some of these lakes may be limited to smaller boats or require some hiking. Check with local tackle shops in Tillamook for the most up-to-date information on water levels and fishing conditions.
