Winter weather has finally arrived, and the lake is frozen over. A few people have started to ice fish on 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.
