Open year-round. Henzel and Petric boat ramps are accessible. The docks have been placed. Redband trout are moving around with most returning to the main lake after spawning. Water clarity is good and the lake is pretty much full.

Catch rates remain low due to record setting drought in 2020 through 2022, resulting in poor survival of juvenile redband trout and subsequent recruitment into the adult population. The best fishing is from a boat and covering lots of water. Fishing at the mouth of the Wood River has been very slow.

Agency Lake regulations are catch-and-release for redband/rainbow trout with no bait allowed (artificial flies and lures only). The boundary of Agency Lake is the south end of the Straits. This change is due to record low spawning escapement for trophy redband trout throughout the Klamath Basin in 2020. ODFW also encourages the use of single barbless hooks in this fishery, not removing the fish from the water, and using catch-and-release rubber nets.

Please report any redband trout captured with radio tags. These radio tags will look like fishing line coming from the lower abdomen area. These juvenile redband trout were tagged in spring of 2021
