Diamond Lake is a lake in Washington, near Yakima County.
Diamond Lake in Yakima County is a lake in Washington and covers about 15.81 acres.
On a water as small as Diamond Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Diamond Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a quick scouting pass near the edge of deeper water after a cold night, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a check of nearby water near a protected point beside useful cover, 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.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near a rocky edge where food is present, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During a steady fall day near the first break close to shade, 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.
During a steady fall day near a shallow shelf in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
