Bass Fishing Around Eugene

[arcticm7]

Hi, I am not looking for any secret spots just general information on what bodies of water hold Bass around Eugene. I am trying to get in to it and don't know where to start. Thanks!!!

Just about any pond with publuc access will get you into the bass. Look at Google earth around north and west Eugene to see the many obscure ponds most people overlook. Fishing is still a little slow due to the cold weather, but it'll be picking up soon.

Like he said ^^^^

Or you might try some lesser-known places like Dorena Lake, Cottage Grove Reservoir, or Fern Ridge Reservoir.

I have also heard LMB are good at Fall Creek Res. but I haven't caught any there.

Pretty much every non-moving body of water around Eugene holds bass. The popular spots are Dorena, Cottage Grove, Fern Ridge, Fall Creek, and Triangle. They all can be excellent, but they take timing and some knowlege.

Green Peter, Lookout and even Dexter can also be good. Most of the little "farm" ponds around have fish and even the back sloughs on the river have bass.

I live in Eugene and fish all these lakes pretty regular. If you ever want someone to take you out and show you some water let me know. I usually fish by myself, and as long as you're not a freak, I appreciate the company.

Thanks Kiefer!! I am not a freak, at least I don't think so????? My friends might argue that though. I am just learning and am not very familiar with Bass. I certainly wouldn't want any secret spots maybe just a heads up and some pointers!! PM me if you ever want some sompany.

Thanks, Mark
