Diamond Lake has too many trout

[eat, sleep, fish]

From the Mailtribune today Diamond Lake has too many trout | MailTribune.com

Biologist Laura Jackson wants all of you happy Diamond Lake trout anglers to do yourself a favor and start keeping more of the fat rainbows you catch up there. After all, the fishery you save might be your own...

I'm taking the whole family there in June, we hope to keep lots of fish for the smoker.

Very interesting. I wonder if they'll up the daily bag limit? Thanks for posting.

I have a trip planned there already in July. Guess I'll have to put a dent in the fish population.

shane... TT can say 2 rod license wasn't needed when we went LOL I am hoping to get at least 2 days fishing up there this trip if i can go

 

[Throbbit _Shane]

Ill be C&R. Keep the 18" and bigger ones LOL. Unless the weather is real bad. then ill go with the first 5.

ill dent the population with my fly rod and only two flies. a bead head rubber leg prince and a royal stimulator. if i convince the parents to go to diamond for our camping trip those trout are screwed.

Without a doubt the best flies there are olive or black wooly buggers and olive damsel fly nymphs.

Yeah, if the fishing's as good as it was when we were there, then I think 2 poles will be a nuisance. lol

lol! Even my wife laughed. You were there in June right?

I was up there in June and fishing 2 rods was pretty much impossible. After you casted out your first rod, you'd get a bite before you could finish baiting up your second rod and cast it out. If you ever got both poles baited up and in the water at the same time it was time to move.

No, we were there in October.

:shock:!!!!!! I might need a bigger boat!

I never made it up there last year. Wife & I like to go in Sept. the week after all the kids go back to school. By then the mosqitoes are almost gone, the weather is still great & we can usually get a camp spot right on the lake.

It was crazy and the fish were awesome fighters too!

i know a woolly bugger is good at any lake or pond regardless. but i didn't know about the damselfly. im pretty sure a mosquito dry would work too since the hacthes there are crazy. thanks for the fly recomendations though
