New to fishing in Oregon

[SinBreed]

I have never fished in Oregon before (Washington native) and live in the Garden Home area of Beaverton. Looking to fish for trout/bass and was hopin someone could give me some pointers where to start. I tried Commonwealth and it was a lil too "public" for me. I was thinking the Tualatlin? would that be a good place to start? and what kind of rigging should i use (roostertails, plastics)? thanks in advance for any advice!

Welcome to the forum, this forum rocks. I am fairly new to Oregon as well so I dont have a lot of advise about where to go. Hagg seems to be popular with the Bass fishermen, and the williamette has bass as well.

thanks! and im actually not new to Oregon, moved here in 03, jus never fished here. lol. in fact my experience in fishing growing up was almost always in a boat. never had a chance to fish for bass and thought i would give it a try. if anyone could tell me the best kind of rigging to set up for bass in the Tualatin i would appreciate. thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum! I always reccomend my favorite info site; Boat Escape - Ultimate Oregon Boating, Camping & Fishing Resource | for finding a new spot. Let us know if it helps you out. Good fishing!

My best advice would be to check out the bass forum. We have some extremely knowledgeable bassers as well as the new state champion,Colby P. He also happens to be our new moderator for the bass forum.
