North and South Tenmile
Lake provide some of the
finest warmwater fishing on
the Oregon coast. Located on
the east side of Hwy 101 mid-
way between Reedsport and
Coos Bay, the combined lakes
offer nearly 2,000 acres of
water and miles of shoreline to
for the girls team all season. On
Saturday, Rannow was 13th indi-
vidually with a time of 20 min-
utes, 12 seconds.
Freshman Brea Blankenship
had Siuslaw’s second-highest fin-
ish in 27th place (20:43), fol-
lowed by sophomore Anne
Wartnik in 33rd (21:06), fresh-
man Gracie Freudenthal in 49th
(21:52), sophomore Chloe
Madden in 73rd (22:31) and the
team’s loan senior Kaylee
Graham finishing close behind in
77th place in 22:46.
Junior Naomi Shoji was the
seventh Viking to cross the finish,
coming in at 22:50 for 79th out of
109 runners.
In the boys race, sophomore
Brendon Jensen had Siuslaw’s
top finish, placing 15th with a
time of 17:17. Senior Isaac
Griffes, who won the Far West
League district title in October,
finished 18th and just four sec-
onds behind Jensen with a time of
17:21.
The next Viking to cross the
finish was sophomore Kiger
Johnson, who finished 63rd with
a time of 18:03. Senior Jordan
Northrop was 68th (18:15), fol-
lowed by junior Robert Mans in
74th (18:30) and sophomore
Jared Northrop placing 99th in
19:58.
In both races, Siuslaw had the
top Far West finish; Marshfield
(232) finished ninth in the boys
race and South Umpqua (206)
placed eighth in the girls division.
Tillamook sophomore Solace
Bergeron won the individual 4A
state title in 18:44, with senior
John Kavulich of Scappoose fin-
ishing in 16:23 for the 4A boys
title.
Following Saturday’s state
meet, the all-state roster was
named. Rannow received the top
recognition for Siuslaw after
being named to the Second Team
All-State list.
Blankenship received honor-
able mention.
For the boys, Jensen and
Griffes were both named to the
Third Team All-State roster.
fish for largemouth bass,
bluegill, crappie and brown
bullhead catfish.
Much of the property
around Tenmile is privately-
owned and the lakes are best
fished by boat, but a fishing
dock at Tenmile Lake County
Park in the small community
of Lakeside is wheelchair
accessible and a great spot for
kids. There also is a camp-
ground and boat launch at the
County Park. Spinreel
Campground (US Forest
Service) on the west side of
Hwy 101 offers camping for
those wanting an extended
stay.
Several area resorts and
marinas also provide camping
spaces, lodging and boat
rentals.
The shoreline of North and
South Tenmile is varied as a
number of streams flow from
the coastal foothills and into
the lakes creating several large
arms and many smaller bays
and inlets dotted with pilings,
docks and boat houses. Both
lakes are shallow with an aver-
age depth of about 15 feet and
abundant aquatic weeds, wil-
lows and bank vegetation that
provide excellent cover and
productive habitat for
warmwater fish.
Fish generally range from 1
to 4-pounds, but a 6-pound
bass is not uncommon. Bass
fishing is best during periods
of warmer water from spring
through early fall.
When spring water tempera-
tures reach about 60 degrees F,
the bass move into shallower
water to spawn. During the
spawn, lures and jigs that imi-
tate prey such as small fish
and crayfish, and soft plastic
worms work well.
Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and
other surface lures are also
effective. Anglers should target
areas around willows, docks,
logs or vegetation that provide
a combination of cover and
patches of open water. Good
locations include the Black’s
Creek arm and railroad trestle
crossing on North Lake, and
the Coleman and Templeton
arms of South Lake.
• Crappie
Anglers catch crappie in
both lakes with good fishing in
the spring and throughout the
summer. Best fishing is in the
calm water along the shoreline,
in the many small coves and
inlets. Crappie anglers should
target shaded areas with wood
structure including submerged
brush and trees, downed logs
and docks.
The fish are often found in
schools at depths of 10-15 feet.
A good set-up is light spinning
tackle with 4-pound test line
and a light-colored 1/32 ounce
jig. Have an assortment of gar-
land-style and curly tail jigs in
a variety of bright, neutral and
dark colors and sizes.
Use a tapered panfish bob-
ber and change the depth of
the jig until you find fish.
Allow the jig to sink then
retrieve slowly.
Fishing is best early and late
in the day, but a mid-day
breeze can also trigger a bite.
Crappie abundance can go
through cycles every few years
so check with ODFW for the
latest information.
• Yellow perch
For yellow perch, you can
fish the same areas of the lakes
and use a similar set-up as for
crappie, but try baiting the jig
with a piece of worm. A size-8
hook baited with worm and
rigged 1-2 feet above a sinker
fished on the bottom will also
work. Perch will most often be
found in deeper water than
crappie.
Like crappie, perch fishing
is best from spring through
fall, but they can be caught
year-round, even during win-
ter.
