Bass fishing has slowed down as winter sets in, however fish can still be found with a little patience and modified tactics. Try fishing deeper locations near submerged structure between 20-40 feet of water using smaller baits and a slowed-down presentation for a chance at finding these fish.  

Hagg Lake is one of western Oregon’s largest lakes and is a premier warmwater fishing destination. The lake is home to both the state record smallmouth bass and bullhead catfish.

Maintained and operated by Washington County, the park features numerous picnic areas, two boat launching facilities, more than 15 miles of hiking trails, and observation decks for wildlife and bird watching. The lake and lake park are currently open, although users are encouraged to check the Hagg Lake Park website, as conditions can change.
