Most largemouth bass are in deeper water along hard bottom points in Tenmile Lakes. Some bass can still be found in shallower water and around boat houses and other structure. During the middle of the day bass can be caught on crankbaits, jigs and plastic worms/stickbaits by fishing in the shade or deeper water. The lake level is low this time of the year, so many submerged logs are out of the water.
Yellow perch anglers are reporting decent catches of yellow perch in the 9- to 13-inch range. Fishing for yellow perch has been good for anglers fishing mud flats in 15-20 feet of water. Yellow perch will bite on worms or jigs tipped with a worm fished near the bottom.
The wild coho salmon fishery opened on Tenmile Lakes on Oct. 1. There are no reports of coho in the lakes yet. Anglers are allowed to harvest 1 wild coho per day and have up to 5 for the season in aggregate with all the other coastal wild coho seasons.
Trout fishing in the lakes will pick up as the water temperatures cool down. Trout anglers will want to concentrate their fishing in the deeper water.
Trout fishing in streams closes after Oct. 31.
