No recent reports from Diamond Lake, but the trout fishing should really be picking up right now with the colder weather. Rainbow trout will be good to target throughout the day rather than just the morning, but morning should still be best for another few weeks.‌

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. Fly-fishing with leech patterns have been doing well. 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.
