Largemouth Bass

While Pomeroy, Washington, isn't immediately known for largemouth bass fishing, anglers willing to explore will find opportunities in local ponds and smaller reservoirs. These waters often fly under the radar, offering a more secluded experience. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawn (May-June) and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. Look for shallow, weedy areas where bass will be staging. Topwater lures can be especially effective during low light conditions. Local tip: Check with the local sporting goods store in Pomeroy for information on access to private ponds, as some landowners may allow fishing with permission. Largemouth in this region tend to be smaller than those found in warmer climates, with most averaging 1-3 pounds, but a persistent angler can certainly find larger specimens. Be sure to have your Washington fishing license and check for any specific regulations pertaining to the waterbody you are fishing.
