• Where to Fish on Log Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Clackamas County, recorded fish include Coho salmon, rainbow trout and Chinook salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Take Log Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put August near 67°F and December near 40°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. The season on Log Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Teasel Creek Reservoir at 5.1 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Log Pond is worth confirming on the day.
