Over last weekend our volunteer surveyor called the fishing “good to very good.” Diamond has been producing some very nice trout this year. The midges should still be hatching which might make some anglers use flies. When you catch a trout over 20 inches, take them to the Marina to get a scale sample taken and be entered into a raffle!

Anglers should check with the Umpqua National Forest (541-498-2531) for information on camps and ramps. Seasonal closures are occurring for campgrounds and boat launches. Anglers can check fishing and water conditions at Diamond Lake on the Diamond Lake Resort Facebook page, or call 541-793-3333 for updates. Diamond Lake is open year-round.

Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. These fish are intended to assist in controlling illegally introduced tui chub. These trout are catch-and-release only and need to be released immediately and unharmed if caught.
