• Where to Fish on Little Diamond Bar Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. McPherson County records list brown trout, rock bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Little Diamond Bar Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 24°F to 74°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Break-up comes around mid March, and the run that follows is short and strong. Open water usually runs from mid March until about early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Little Diamond Bar Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Diamond Bar Lake at 2.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Little Diamond Bar Lake for certain.
