About Molalla River
Molalla River cuts through Oregon, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades.

Fishing Techniques
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
- For Northern pikeminnow
Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees or rock piles, as Northern pikeminnow often ambush prey from these locations; vary your retrieve until you find what triggers a strike.
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
