Tenmile Lakes - Lakeside, OR

Lake Information

Fish Species: Coho Salmon, White Sturgeon, Steelhead, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Coastal Cutthroat, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead
Tenmile Lakes, near Lakeside, Oregon, is a renowned coastal lake system, highly celebrated as a premier warmwater fishery. This expansive, shallow system of connected lakes primarily supports exceptional largemouth bass populations, along with abundant brown bullhead, bluegill, and black crappie. Additionally, coastal cutthroat trout and regularly stocked rainbow trout provide consistent coldwater angling.

Fishing conditions are generally excellent for warmwater species, with bass fishing reported as "very good" on plastics. Panfish also offer consistent action. For trout, fishing is open year-round, with opportunities sustained by stocking. As water warms, bass move to deeper water during the day, requiring anglers to adapt. Effective methods for bass include soft plastics, while panfish respond well to light tackle and small jigs.

Access to Tenmile Lakes is excellent, with numerous public boat launches and extensive shoreline access. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining healthy fish populations. Anglers must strictly adhere to all Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) regulations, including bag limits and proper fish handling, to preserve this versatile and productive coastal lake system.
