Fishing near Hillsboro, OR
Sitting at the heart of Oregon's Tualatin Valley, Hillsboro anchors a corner of Washington County where anglers reach remarkably varied water within a short drive. The Tualatin River runs straight through town for bass and catfish, while Henry Hagg Lake—a ~1,100-acre reservoir roughly 18 miles southwest—holds state-record smallmouth bass and brown bullhead. The Willamette and Columbia rivers lie 25–40 minutes out for salmon, steelhead, and world-class white sturgeon.
