I like Diamond Lake for bank fishing. I have pulled my boat up there and not done well from the boat and the next day fished off the bank with power bait and spinners, and worms and done real well on nice 14-16" trout. I think th e lake Jigs made by Steelhead Stalker would work good from the bank if you took the time to figyre out how fast to reel tham in. Standing at the boat rental look left and you will see the big upper and lower cabins. There is a trail being them. Stay on it until you see a bench where you can sit on an look at the lake. We fished right there several times with good luck. It was simple for us, because we were staying in one of the cabins. Hope this helps, Tight Lines, Qwa
