As part of the new regulation simplification process, Diamond Lake is now back to the Southwest Zone regulation of 5 trout/day.

Anglers that are planning on taking a trip to Diamond Lake should check with the Umpqua National Forest (541-498-2531) or Diamond Lake Resort for information on seasonal camp and ramp closures.

The ice has melted off of Diamond Lake and fishing should be excellent in the open-water. Diamond Lake is expected to be stocked with over 300,000 fingerling rainbow trout around early June, and there are plenty of legal-sized holdover trout currently in the lake.

Anglers can check fishing and water conditions at Diamond Lake on the Diamond Lake Resort website, or call their toll free number at 1-800-733-7593, ext. 5 for updates.
