MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY 2h 1940. FACE HRS Trip To Diamond Lake Popular Outing For Rogue River Valley People FISHING, III, SWIMMING AMONG SPORTSJT LAKE Good Accommodations for Vacationists and Picnick ersRoads are Good. By Karl Janouch. Diamond fake la one of the Gems of the Cascades and a sportsmen' paradise. Here the beautiful rainbow trout have attained the highest degree of perfection on account of the great quantities of feed in the lake. The trout are very fat and of fine flavor, often weigh ing 12 to 15 pounds. Anybody who enjoys trolling for the fin est of all fish can have the time of hit life landing the big fel lows. The fly fisherman who feel that he is the real sportsman may anchor his boat in the shadow of the tall evergreen trees along the west shore. In the shadow of old Mt. Bailey, and he may just put out all the line he can and when one of those beauties takes the hook on 73 or 100 feet of line, if that man does not get thrill well, Just come along and see what you would do. At any time during the sum mer period a trip to Diamond lake is well worth while. Take your families for an overnight camping trip to this vacation er's heaven. The paved high way to the lake is ahvays in excellent condition. Leave Medford and drive along the Crater Lake high way, noting the various points of interest which you may want to visit later in the season. The mountain on the right, ten min utes from Medford, is Mt. Mc Loughlin: the flat-top moun tains to the left are the Table Hocks. In 30 minutes from Medford, Rogue river is reached. The ranches appear to be smaller. and numerous resorts utilize the narrow strip of level land between the highway and the river. Following the left bonk of Rogue river, the road be comes more crooked and crook ed it must be to pursue the whims of this noted fishing stream. In places the river is seen deep In the bottom of the gorge a fine view for all but the driver he, however, had best watch the road. In one and a quarter hours Prospect is reached. One mile from Prospect brings you to the portals of the Rogue River national forest. The tall trees on both sides of the road In clude the well known ponderosa or yellow pine and the valu able sugar pine. The under growth is composed largely of flowering dogwood. As you proceed along this scenic high way, you will notice that the undergrowth gradually disap pears and the forest flo t is open. Eleven miles from Prospect is the Union Creek ranger sta tion where recreational Infor mation may be secured. After July 1 campfire permits are issued here. The forest ranger and his personnel are glad to aid. At Union Creek, too, camping and picnicking facil ities are available. Two minutes above Union Creek, slow down to notice a very interesting forest camp on the banks of the Rogue which is Farewell Bend' forest camp, an inviting picnic or camping spot. In another min ute you com to the Junction of the Crater Lake and Diamond Lake highways. Taking the left-hand road, you soon reach a stopping place from where splendid view om Rabbit E&rs can be had. Below is the rest les Rogue river. Rolling alone, you pass Foster Creek and Muir Creek forest camps. Both are equipped with stoves, tables and toilets, and beckon you to their inviting locations on Rogue river. In 23 minues from Union Creek a road turning off to the right leads to Hamaker camp ground.

A forest guard lives near the well equipped campground to help direct you to the many fishing areas. On the summit of the divide, where the highway starts down hill, you enter the Umpo.ua na tional forest. The very sharp pointed mountain ahead is Mt. Thielsen, 9,128 feet high. Driv ing toward its base and admir ing its ruggedness. Diamond lake suddenly comes Into view only two hours after leaving Medford. The mountain on the opposite side of the ?ake is Mt. Bauley, on top of which is lo cated a forest service lookouS Another forest guard lives on the east side of the lake. His primary duty is putting out for est fires before they are started, by soliciting the careful coop eration of forest visitors. In formation on fishing, hiking, boating and all other recrea tional activities can be secured at this forest service station. Diamond lake offers the very best in outdoor forest camp or resort facilities. Popular campgrounds are lo cated among the alpine groves on the east bank of the lake. Picnic tables are provided for large groups, and overnight camping facilities re arranged for those who wish to stay longer. A very modern resort is lo cated on the northeast end of the lake. As many as 109 boats are available and 52 cottages. However, it is permissible to haul your own boat and use it on the lake if you so desire. Many of the cottages are fully equipped for housekeeping, while others are merely sleep ing cabins for those who wish to have their own lunches, or have their meals at the lodge dining room or coffee shoo. A well-stocked store is operated at the resort from which can be secured fresh meat, vegetables, fresh milk, fishing tackle, gas and oil. Diamond lake is noted for its good fishing for a period of 100 days each summer, shade and green grass can be found at the water's edge, and sandy beaches and warm water make bathing popular for both children and grawn-up. This is the only purely stocked rain bow lake in the state of Oregon. Saddle horses are available at the resort and the many wind ing trails along the summit of the Cascades m this vicinity offer enjoyment for equestrians. There are no poisonous snakes or poison oak in the Diamond lake area. On the west side of take are located numerous summer j nomes. ixrts are leased by the j forest service at Roseburg to people wishing to build sum mer cottages. l. . -.7- 7 u . u i Usn flatch'ry' Here i On the north end of the lake can be seen giant rainbow trout at the spawning grounds seme reigning jrom iv to 13 pounds, oi lot acciaent ana of me boy s almost mockingly flashing tnefr removal to the Community hos fins in this protected art at'pital.

Trout eggs cost 2S0 per thousand;1 r n a. rN M L consequently, the trout is worth S3 to the state hatchery yearly. Each female trout begins spawn ing during the third or fourth year and is known to sp-n until the twelfth year. An av erage female trout is worth ap proximately $30 during Its life time. Fishermen, keep in mind that if you catch a female trout that is ready to spawn, you should take it off your hocki and throw it back for the per-; petuation of its kind, A spawn-: ing trout is unfit to eat, so return it it will not die if hpndled gently. Little fish are liberated when from one inch to one and- a half inches long. During the summer thousands of these little fish can be seen at the boat landings. Lake creek is closed for a distat-ce of six miles downstream from Diamond lake. This is done to protect the young fish in the stream and to give them a chance to ma ture and return to the lake waters. Diamond lake is an extremely popular lake during the sum mer months. Hundreds of peo ple enjoy swimming, fishing and boating each summer. Week-end picnic parties are ever popular in the campgrounds, as are overnight euting camps. Many interesting points of recreational value can be easily reached from Diamond lake. A short hike can be made to Mt. Thielsen and Mt. Bailey, a short distance by paved high way is Crater lake, one of the world wonders. Other trips can be made to the very beau tiful, heavily forested and rug ged country to the north. Ex cellent fishing streams may eas ily be reached. AL GILHAUSEN, JR. SERIOUSLY Al Gilhousen.
