Spangler Pond Fishing Guide, Washington County, Oregon

• Overview

  This water sits in Washington County, Oregon. The bank gives way to open plain. At roughly 3 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Cornelius is the closest place, 4.2 miles off. Hillsboro is the closest city, 5 miles away. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing. One side gets the morning sun and the other the evening.

• Where to Fish on Spangler Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Records held for Washington County cover common carp, yellow perch, brown bullhead and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Spangler Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 65°F at the top of summer and 39°F at the bottom of winter. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. That is the shape of the year on Spangler Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Dober Reservoir is 0.6 miles distant. Confirm before you fish Spangler Pond.
