Has anyone ever fished the McMinville Ponds in Oregon? (it may be called Wilsonville ponds i cant remember) But I drove by them the other day and saw a couple of people fishing them and I wondered if it's any good.

Don't know of any McMinnville ponds, but Wilsonville Pond just south of the I-5 rest area near Wilsonville does have a decent bass fishery and a stunted bluegill population. Use a cartopper boat because there is alot of poison oak around the west shoreline.

Not enough food for a large population of fish, thus it "stunts" their growth. A massive amount of 2-3" bream including the adults.
