Angler surveys from this summer were somewhat slow, but fishing was pretty good for most anglers. Many anglers were finding success with brown trout on the South End.

A blue-green algal bloom advisory was issued earlier this year, but according to the Oregon Health Authority website, there are no current advisories. Here are some tips for fishing during blue-green algae blooms.

Anglers should check with the Umpqua National Forest (541-498-2531) for information on camps and ramps. The campgrounds may start closing as we move into fall. Anglers can check fishing and water conditions at Diamond Lake on the Diamond Lake Resort Facebook page or call 541-793-3333 for updates. Diamond Lake is open to fishing year-round.

Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. 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.
