No recent reports. Some near shore ice may be present on some days, but the lake has not frozen over yet. Anglers willing to brave the cold may have some luck on late season trout.‌

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
