Conditions remain the same. Diamond Lake is only partially frozen over and likely to have limited access. Please review the ice-fishing safety suggestions when venturing out on the ice. ‌

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.
