: DIAMOND LAKE: Angling has been good with many people catching their limit. Most anglers are using PowerBait and spinners just off the bottom. Fish are ranging in size from 8 to over 20 inches long. Anglers are reminded that only one trout over 20 inches long can be harvested per day. Consult regulations if you wish to fish the inlet or outlet streams on Diamond Lake. Contact the resort for the latest fishing news at 1-800-733-7593 ext. 238. NOTE: As of July 15, Diamond Lake is currently under a health advisory due to high levels of algae found in the lake. Drinking, swallowing, and skin contact with water should be avoided. The public can still enjoy camping, hiking, biking, bird watching and fishing at the reservoir. Fish caught in affected waters pose unknown health risks. If you choose to eat them, remove all fat, skin and organs before cooking because toxins are more likely to collect in these tissues. Boating is still an option at the reservoir, but speeds should be kept low enough to avoid spraying passengers with water.

| About: -
Diamond Lake is located just 5 miles north of Crater Lake National Park on highway 138.
Since the early 1900s, Diamond Lake has been the premier trout fishing
destination for generations of Oregonians. An infestation of tui chub in the
early 1950s put a damper on angling for several years until the lake was successfully treated with the fish
toxicant rotenone in 1954 and restocked with rainbow trout. Nearly 40 years of
excellent fishing and water quality followed until chub were again discovered in
the lake in 1992.
Boat launches: 5 public boat
ramps are located on Diamond Lake. The North End Boat Ramp has a concrete jetty
for shoreline fishing and is designed for persons with disabilities. Three fish
cleaning stations are available.
