Diamond Lake — Attraction in Roseburg

Weather was perfect! It was supposed to have snow and they opened later than normal foe the camp grounds, but as a long time visitor since I was a kid, it had been 23 years since I had been back. Fishing was decent. We caught at least 3-5 per outing about 2x a day during Memorial Weekend. I stayed at the Lodge hotel WiFi only available in the Lodge. My parents campsite was a gorgeous location and that's where most my photos came from. Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Breakfast & happy hour were all reasonably priced & very tastey! My only thing is that I wish there was something to get rid of the hatching "midges" bugs that swarm around you no matter where you are. That's Nature though🌞 I look forward to...

The people at the marina are very helpful. The resort is big and very busy a bit crowded for so early in the year, (mid May). The lake has a 10mph speed limit. The boat launch on the eastern shore closest to the resort seems a bit small for big boats, the ramp is sheltered and the trailer parking a bit narrow. Update: middle of August, can barely see the mountains because of the smoke, it's warm, water temp is up but the 17 inch trout we caught was really fat. The South Shore boat ramp is great, 2 launches side by side makes for a fast launch and retrieve and the trailer parking is long and spacious with lots of parking spaces. You have to pay 5.00 to use the boat...

Pristinely beautiful large oval lake, surrounded by striking snow-covered mountain peaks. Water was crystal clear.

Wind was blowing when we visited, making boat launch and trolling more difficult than usual. Lots of fish eating birds soaring overhead. We saw Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles & Osprey here. The eagles periodically roost in the tallest tree tops. I also noticed lots of ducks of varying species here...Mallards, Buffalheads and several other kinds near shore. The fish didn't reward us for our efforts. It could've been the wind. We were told by another boater that they limited out on trout the day before. Story of my life...my ship came in, when I was at...
