• Where to Fish on Diamond Bar Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for McPherson County include brown trout, rock bass and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Fish Diamond Bar Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 74°F in July and bottom out at 24°F in January. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid March. Averages place the thaw at mid March and the freeze at early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Diamond Bar Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lawyer Lake at 2.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Diamond Bar Lake locally before you travel.
