No recent fishing reports from Diamond Lake. The water is still open and there still should be a decent chance to catch some trout before the ice sets on. ‌

Snow has started to fall at Diamond Lake, so anglers are encouraged to check road conditions and accessible areas before traveling.‌

Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. Anglers targeting brown trout have been doing fantastic lately with high catch rates and some great brown trout being caught (and released). 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.
