Trout season at Lemolo and Diamond Lake opens Saturday

Comments Off on Trout season at Lemolo and Diamond Lake opens Saturday

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Lemolo Reservoir and Diamond Lake trout anglers can begin fishing this Saturday, April 23 when the season officially opens.
Lemolo Reservoir has a good population of large brown trout that should be ready to bite. The road has been plowed to the dam area where there is open water. Currently, much of the reservoir is still slushy and water levels are too low for boating, but there is good bank access. Fish stocking will continue once the water level rises.
