Diamond Lake is a lake in Utah, near Duchesne County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Diamond Lake in Duchesne County is a lake in Utah and covers about 12.8 acres, reaches about 12 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 61.7 acre-feet.
One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; begin over firm bottom, then separate open water from cover. With little deep water in Diamond Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Diamond Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Utah Chub, and Utah Sucker.
The first rainbow trout pass on Diamond Lake should cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Arctic Grayling have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch; test the drop before leaving.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; use a light bait when the water is clear, then try a natural color before a loud pattern.
In spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace; begin over firm bottom, then try a brighter bait when the water is dirty.
A light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control; cast across the break instead of along it, then compare shallow and deeper water.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; match lure size to the visible food, then use wind to narrow the search.
