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. This aroa is well known

among anglers and the fishing
here is good all summer. 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.

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. She ha remained here

At his hatchery trout esgs are The boy father, former Unit

mately 5.000.000 embryo fish , nent flier, was San Francisco,
are annually sent to other hatch- Mr. and Mrs. Gilhousen own
eries in the state to be reared, and operate Rogue River lodge.
One and one-half million rkisi- j
bows are hatched annually for Ctosu-a ua tor Too lt to eta
Diamond lake alcne. The spawn- a n 1) P-
ing fish and young ones can bt. '
seen until late June at the
hatchery. Thirty days are re
quired for trout to liatch from
an e.

eggs cost 2S0 per thousand;1

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.
