So from the grape vine I have been hearing for years that this is a great bass lake. First question, where to start? I heard that the channel just past fisher butte is good bass home? Can anyone confirm this for me, I would like to pontoon it. Second question, has no one fished this recently? There haven't been any reports on the forum since the 7th of April, has it picked up yet, is it worth going out there? Are the fish biting there yet? Have they warmed up enough?
So many questions maybe I should just suck it up and go explorin'
I am really interested in this place from past stories I have heard.Inquiring minds would like to know and any input would be greatly appreciated!
It's the one before peninsula park, to the right on the lake side, head away from the road on that creek. If you take it almost all the way to where it meets with the lake you will find some dead trees and where another creek merges. That's a sweet spot once the fish are active... I've caught the majority of my bass last year just within a 100 yards in either direction of that spot. Lots of grass cover with deep sharp banks under the water with lots of down trees deep in the center of the channel, plus slow current holding biat fish make that spot.....well... the spot!Is coyote creek the canal off to the side of 126 there where everyone puts the canoes/ kayaks in? From Eugene is it the one before the peninsula park or after?
Almost the whole canal is empty during the winter when they open the damn for snw runnoff. Most of the cover is dry then. Now it looks like it is high as it gets. I love the canal, I have fished it more then any other area in Eugene. Its close, sometimes the bite is good and its a neat place. As soo n as the park opens you will see me and my green boat out there.So I paddled out there down the channel yesterday. didn't get a lot of fishin , mostly fighting wind. Managed to get one very quick bite, but it looks like it is real nice habitat in there reminds me of the canals we used to fish for bass and crappie in Florida.Do the stumps and snags get covered in water at all or is it a channel all year? Cause thee water is still low ifin it does get that high. Definitely will be back to check it out more in depth but hopefully without as bad of wind.
Im going to hit fernridge ditch Sat. 6th. Anyone else going out. I figure all be launching at 8:30am.
