Description
- Abstract: The Tenmile Lakes are large, shallow, highly productive freshwater lakes located in Coos County on Oregon's Pacific Coast. North and South Tenmile lakes have respective surface areas of 970 and 1,170 acres and are connected by a narrow, shallow canal. Several smaller lakes also drain into Tenmile Creek below the large lakes. The lakes originally contained excellent populations of coho salmon and
cutthroat trout. However, these species declined with the development of large populations of warm water fish including largemouth bass, bluegill, yellow perch, and brown bullhead. Management problems in the lakes today concern continued reduction of salmonid populations and high abundance of bluegill. Largemouth bass appear incapable of fully utilizing bluegill as forage. As a result, the Department has
considered introducing additional predator species to provide fishing diversity and to better utilize bluegill.
