http://www.dfw.state.or.usTrout fishing on Tenmile Lakes has slowed down with the best fishing is in the early mornings. Anglers should focus on fishing in deeper water.
The wild coho fishery opened in Tenmile Lakes on Oct. 1 and will run through December 31. Salmon anglers may harvest 1 wild coho per day with up to 5 wild coho for the year in aggregate with Siltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes. The water level in Tenmile Lakes is very low so it will take a few good rains to bring the coho into the lake.
Fishing for largemouth bass has been good. Bass are hitting plastics and jigs fished in deeper water.
Yellow perch fishing is very good this fall with lots of fish in the 9- to 12-inch range. Yellow perch have transitioned away from the weedlines into the deeper mudflats in the lake. Anglers are using small jigs or a worm on a hook fished near the bottom.
