returns begin in early April to
early June in the Nestucca,
Siletz, Trask and Wilson
rivers. Summer fish will con-
tinue to arrive through late
summer and early fall, some-
times overlapping with winter
returning fish.
T ROUT
Cutthroat trout live in these
coastal rivers and streams.
Although resident fish may be
small, they are feisty and fun
to catch. Fishing these cool,
shaded waters also can pro-
vide a welcome respite from
the summer heat. In late sum-
mer, look for sea-run cutthroat
to migrate from the estuaries
back to freshwater to spawn.
These can be large, hard-fight-
ing fish.
Dozens of lakes and ponds

The south coast area
extends along the Oregon
coast from Yachats south to
the Oregon-California border.
The area offers some of the
most productive and scenic
warmwater fishing in the state
with excellent fishing for bass
and panfish available in large
waters such as Mercer Lake,
Siltcoos
Lake,
and
Tahkenitch Lake.
Tenmile Lakes located
south of Florenceis renowned
for its crappie and trophy bass
fisheries, and the site of bass
tournaments.
Anglers should also try one
of the many smaller lakes scat-
tered along Highway 101 and
throughout the coastal dunes
area, or Triangle Lake closer
to the Willamette Valley.
The warmwater fish avail-
able in the south coast area
include: Largemouth bass,
smallmouth bass, bullheads,
black crappie, bluegill, pump-
kinseed, yellow perch, green
sunfish, warmouth and chan-
nel catfish

Lake provide some of the
finest warmwater fishing on
the Oregon coast. Located on
the east side of Highway 101
mid-way between Reedsport
and Coos Bay, the combined
lakes offer nearly 2,000 acres
of water and miles of shoreline
to 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 campground
and boat launch at the County
Park. Spinreel Campground
(U.S. Forest Service) on the
west side of Hwy 101 offers
camping for those wanting an
extended stay. Several area
resorts and marinas also pro-
vide camping spaces, lodging
and boat rentals.
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 tar-
get 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 rail-
road trestle crossing on North
Lake, and the Coleman and
Templeton arms of South
Lake.
C RAPPIE
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 shore-
line, 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 spin-
ning tackle with 4-pound test
line and a light-colored 1/32
ounce jig. Have an assortment
of garland-style and curly tail
jigs in a variety of bright, neu-
tral, 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.
Y ELLOW 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.
B LUEGILL
Bluegill fishing is best as
the water warms during the
summer. Bluegill will be
found in shallow areas with
less woody structure, but more
vegetation. During the late
summer and early fall they can
be caught in the canal between
North and South Tenmile.
As with crappie, light spin-

ning gear works well, but
smaller jigs and hooks are
needed. A small hook baited
with a piece of worm or other
panfish bait and suspended 10-
18 inches below a bobber can
be deadly.
Bluegill are aggressive
biters, but if you give them too
much time they will steal the
bait off your hook — pay close
attention to your bobber. They
will feed throughout the day
and are a great target for
young and beginning anglers.
B ROWN BULLHEAD
Spinning tackle also works
well for the brown bullhead
catfish, which are abundant
and can reach up to 13-inches
long. Worms or baits with a
strong odor are effective, par-
ticularly when fished near the
shore in the evening or at
night.
Use 6-8 pound test line and
a sliding egg sinker placed
above a barrel swivel. Below
the swivel, tie your hook to the
end of an 18-inch leader.
The sliding sinker allows
the fish to take the bait without
feeling the weight of the
sinker.
If you’re fishing in an area
with weeds, a float can be used
instead of a sinker to suspend
the bait above the weeds.
