Fishing continues to be good at Diamond Lake, although fishing pressure is light. Trolling is an effective technique, but using bait or flies has also been showing positive results. Most successful anglers are targeting the south end of the lake.

Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. These fish are intended to assist in controlling illegally introduced tui chub. These trout are catch-and-release only and need to be released immediately and unharmed if caught.

As part of the 2016 regulation simplification process, Diamond Lake is now back to the Southwest Zone regulation of 5 rainbow trout per day.
