The wild coho season officially started on Oct. 1 in Tenmile Lakes and will continue until Dec. 31. There hasn't been enough rain to get coho from the ocean into the lakes yet.
Water temperatures continue to drop in Tenmile Lakes with more vegetation dying off for the season, which means largemouth bass will be transitioning off the weedlines and moving to submerged wood or other hard structures.
Topwater lures can still catch largemouth bass this time of the year in the early mornings, late evening and in shaded areas during mid-day. Spinner baits around submerged trees becomes a popular technique to use this time of the year. Drop shots, jigs, and wacky rigged Senkos will also produce bass throughout the day.
Yellow perch also transition away from the weedlines this time of the year but go to deeper mud flats in 15 feet of water or deeper. Use a small jigs or hooks with a worm fished near the bottom to catch yellow perch.
Trout fishing in rivers and streams is open through Oct. 31. Trout fishing in the lakes is open year-round.
