Water Temp

[pdx89]

Hey everyone.. im new to this site, although i have been reading it some for time now.... i want to go and chase those bass, but i have a hard time finding the temp of the water (willamete, columbia). the internet which is supposed to be helpful, is not. does any one know a site where i can check the water temp? i really want to hit the water thanks, Vielen Dank!

Welcome to the forum pdx89.

Mind you, this was last weeks temps

The Columbia @ 42nd 42.8
The Willy @ Meldrum 41.2
The Clack @ Cross park 40.1

My back yard pond (today) 45.6

I doubt the temps have come up more than 1/2 degree since last week.

Thanks yall for everything and info... yea i got to work this weekend myself

hopefully the weather will only get better, and the water warmer
.. i have a nice spot above the dam for bass, but i figure the water will take longer to warm up there then in willamette

if you know what your doing, and with a bit of luck you might catch a few. thats my opinion, i would have been on the river if i did not have to work. even the fact that your on the water with final some sun is a must
Good luck

The water temp on the lower Willamette yesterday was 45-47 degrees. The Columbia has been running about 6 degrees colder. Bass are being caught, just not in large numbers yet.

hey all... finaly some nice weather:dance:
i had been on the river (Willamette) on Monday before i headed to PSU. i did not have a rod, but i noticed a few fish jumping in some what shallow water near the bank. maybe those are bass. with this warm air, the water will get warm faster.. can't wait to tackle some big bass

im mostly a bank and local angler... for bass i ''usually'' dont go much past the falls in oregon city, and just over couple of miles above the bonneville dam to the east.. so thats pretty much my range.. thanks
