Fishing Webb Lake in Marion County, Oregon

• Overview

  Webb Lake is a Marion County water, in Oregon. Country round the bank runs to dry hill. At 12 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. You are 1.1 miles from Silverton. Mount Angel follows at 3.4 miles, then Gervais at 8.3 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply. There is room enough here for more than one party without crowding.

• Where to Fish on Webb Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. County-wide records name bluegill, largemouth bass, largescale sucker and rainbow trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Fish Webb Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 67°F, the coldest about 40°F. Cold never closes this one. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan any trip to Webb Lake around it. As the season turns, fish follow food rather than temperature alone.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Pettit Reservoir sits 2.2 miles off and takes the overflow. For Webb Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
