Largemouth Bass

Quincy, Washington, situated near the Columbia River and its associated irrigation canals and reservoirs, offers some excellent largemouth bass fishing opportunities. The Potholes Reservoir, just south of Quincy, is a particularly popular destination for bass anglers. What sets this area apart is the abundance of shallow, weedy habitat created by the irrigation system, providing ideal conditions for bass to thrive. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season and shortly after, are prime times to fish for bass in this region. A local tip: focus on areas near the islands and submerged vegetation in the Potholes Reservoir. These areas provide cover and attract baitfish, making them hotspots for bass. Also, be aware of the wind conditions, as strong winds can make it difficult to fish on the open water. The bass in the Potholes Reservoir are known for their aggressive strikes and hard fighting ability, so be prepared for a thrilling experience.
