With the unseasonable weather, the lake has started to thaw. Anglers seem to be staying off the lake. Please read about ice fishing safety before adventuring out on ice.
Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. These fish were introduced to help control illegally introduced tui chub. These trout are catch-and-release only and need to be released immediately and unharmed if caught. Follow these catch-and-release tips for reducing fish mortality.
