Dont have boat but like to catch fish, would like to catch fish in a lake, any favorite lakes that are good for bank fishing?

we'd need to know the general area you're at, and how far you are willing to drive before being able to reccomend much.

I am in the willamette valley area and am willing to fish in an hour or so distance.

Greenpeter is a good bank fishing lake.....bobber and a night crawler or Foster on the Santiam arm. Good luck...

Welcome to the neighborhood! A great tool for finding lakes & rivers along with a fair amount of information online is Boat Escape; Ultimate Oregon Boating, Camping, Fishing Resource . This site is my favorite for learning what lakes are in what area. It also gives what type of fish,current weather and maps. You can get bi-weekly (mostly) fishing reports at Oregon Fishing Reports: Rogue River Fishing Report also. You might also try the rest of this board. It really has a wealth of information from a bunch of great people who aren't afraid to share with you.

Green Peter gets tough to bank fish once it's full, as there isn't much accessible shoreline to begin with and what was there pretty much goes away when it's full.

so, now is the right time to bank fish at green peter, because now it's not full, and theres plenty of shore line.
