Lake. The increase is a result of an estimated 400,000
trout in the lake. That’s above the management
News-Review
file photo level set by the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife.
“I think it’s a wonderful thing for families that
come here to fish, and it’s good for the lake,” said
Steve Koch, president and general manager of
Diamond Lake Resort. “ It’s a better reward for
what is paid for the license. It’s an opportunity to
harvest quite a bit more fish. With the price of fuel, the ability to
catch more fish will help offset some of the travel costs.
“I know they’re (ODFW) trying to balance the food source
with the fishery, and this should keep the health of the lake
steady,” he added.
The High Cascades fishing season opened April 23, but a cov-
ering of snow and ice limited access to open water at Diamond
Lake well into May.
Rick Rockholt, the marketing director at the Diamond Lake
Resort, said the largest rainbow trout caught and recorded last
year was 7.25 pounds with a length of 26.5 inches. He said the
average fish was 16 to 17 inches long.
“I still believe there are 10-pounders out there,” he said.
Rockholt said visitors enjoyed fantastic fishing in 2010, right
through the fishery’s closure on Oct. 31. He said “five-fish limits
were the rule for most of last season, with nice fish up to four to
five pounds,” and he is expecting the good fishing to continue
through 2011.
Most people fishing at the lake use Power Bait, with chartreuse
and fluorescent orange colors being most popular. Other options
are night crawlers or trolling with Ford Fenders with either a
small lure or worm.
Rockholt said fly fishing should also prove to be productive as
fingerlings that were stocked at 3 to 4 inches last year should now
be 13 to 15 inches and should know how to forage for food.
Diamond Lake has recovered as a trout fishery since undergo-
ing the largest fisheries restoration project ever undertaken by the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The agency in 2006
joined the U.S. Forest Service and other state and federal agen-
cies to mix more than 100,000 pounds of rotenone into the lake
and choke out the non-native tui chub, a minnow-like fish of the

The News-Review
The North Umpqua River is a bubbling emerald-green torrent
that flows west from the Mount Thielsen Wilderness over boul-
ders, through deep pools and meets its confluence with the South
Umpqua River just northwest of Roseburg.
“It’s drop-dead gorgeous,” said Sharon Blodgett, owner of
North Umpqua Outfitters. “It’s a wild and scenic corridor.”
There are several dozen miles of world-renowned fly fishing
for steelhead within the North Umpqua river system. Fishermen
and kayakers also flock to the river throughout the year, while
locals find peace and quiet in its deep pools and excitement on
tubing trips over rapids during the summer.
Follow their lead at Amacher Park underneath the Winchester
Bridge, where droves of tubers and rafters launch their crafts for
a full day of floating to River Forks Park. But always wear a life
jacket, because a few rapids can be a bit of a surprise.
“There are more rapids per mile than any other river in Ore-
gon,” Blodgett said.
High up the South Umpqua River, nature has created one of its
cooler swimming holes at South Umpqua Falls in the Tiller Dis-
trict of the Umpqua National Forest.
In the Steamboat area of the North Umpqua, a 31-mile stretch
of the river is open to fly-fishing only. This area is considered a
fly fishermen mecca for the summer steelhead entering the
Steamboat Creek Drainage.
