ROSEBURG – Lunker rainbow trout are biting throughout the day at Diamond Lake, and with the higher harvest limit, fishing should be excellent this holiday weekend.

On May 13, state fishery officials raised the trout limit at Diamond Lake to 20 fish per day, two daily limits in possession and no size restrictions to encourage anglers to catch as many fish as possible before an intensive netting operation begins in mid-July. The netting will target thousands of pounds of larger tui chub, as well as any remaining trout, in preparation for the department’s September treatment of the lake to remove the invasive chub population and restore the lake’s water quality.

ODFW creel surveys since May 13 show a promising spring fishery. According to Dave Loomis, the Diamond Lake Restoration Project Incident Commander, six harvest limits have been checked in at the docks by ODFW personnel in the last two weeks along with many catches of 15 fish per person per day.

“We’ve seen about 50 fish over 18 inches harvested so far, and several three to four pounders,” Loomis said. “People are having good luck fishing the south end of the lake and the deeper waters on the north end.”

Loomis said bait fishing and trolling with lures is working the best. He also reminds anglers that fishing is prohibited within 200 feet of the weir and that they still need an angling license to fish during this season.
