Bass Fishing Trips

Bass fishing in Oregon is a viable opportunity that is overlooked by the majority of local anglers who choose to concentrate their efforts on the more popular salmon and steelhead fisheries. Both Largemouth and smallmouth bass are available and plentiful in many waters throughout Oregon. Wildlife Fishing Adventures concentrates on two of the major rivers in the northwest, the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Our knowledge of these systems and abilities to locate fish at various times of the year allow us to provide our clients with a very rewarding trip.

• Columbia & Willamette River -- (APRIL-OCTOBER)

• Henry Hagg Lake -- (Seasonal)
• Ten Mile Lakes -- (Seasonal)

The Oregon record Largemouth Bass (11 pounds 9.6 ounces) was caught from a farm pond near Butte Falls, Oregon.

Wildlife Fishing Adventures has participated in several bass tournaments at Hagg and Ten Mile Lakes, both prime locations for big bass. We know these waters, and its bass hangouts, well.

The Willamette River, from its mouth at Portland, to the sloughs and back waters near Salem, have always been productive areas for smallmouth bass. The Columbia River also provides many opportunities to cross wits with river smallmouths. Wildlife Fishing Adventures can provide you with the knowledge needed to catch fish from these productive areas while you enjoy a fun and exciting day on the water.

The majority of these fish will weigh from one and-a-half to two pounds each, are very feisty, and have indeed proven to be a worthy adversary for local anglers. River bass know how to use the rivers current to their advantage, therefore their fight will many times rival that of a much larger lake bass.
