I've lived here, since before HP was built. Also worked there, about dozen years ago. Not sure if was open to the public, in my youth. But fishing is definitely OFF limits, these days. I don't think it's posted. But Oregon does NOT require, any signage (for tresspassing). So stay away; if you wish to fish legally (and avoid tickes with fines).
There is an 8' chain link fence with barbed wire on top around the place. Sorta hard to use the "my bad, I didn't see the signs" gambit in that situation.

Lol yeah, prolly not.
I usually go into street view on Google Earth if possible in those situations. Lets you see fences, gates, posted signs at access points o'ff most major roads, etc. Saves gas and wasted time if nothing else.
There really is next to nothing in Corvallis. Albany has several good public ponds (First lake, Second Lake, Waverly Pond and Freeway Lakes) are the best bets in the area for public water. Other than that, you are knocking on doors.

If you have a raft, tube, or toon...try the Kiger Island slough. It's also called, the Westfork Booneville Channel. Go south on Hwy. 99. Take the 1st left, past Rivergreen Ave. That puts you onto, Kiger Island Dr. In short odor, you'll come to a bridge. That's the slough, on the right. And it's drainage creek, on the left, that flows into the Willy. Bucketmouths, in the slough. And Smallies on the other side. You can fish the drainage side, from the rip rap along the bank.
P.S. There is also the Long Tom River, further south. It has all kinds of warmwater species.
The great outdoors is an "immediate bathroom" facility. If you can't appreciate throwing a wiz while marveling at the wonders of nature, you don't enjoy life.or where there are no immediate bathroom facilities?
