Open year-round. Redband trout are moving around with some returning to the main lake and many moving up the Wood River to spawn. Agency Lake is terrible to fish in the wind and even harder to launch/trailer your boat at Henzel Park. The docks will be taken out soon. Launching at Petric Park is another option.

Overall fishing is slow. The best approach is to cover lots of water on the lake.

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.

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.

Keep on the lookout for radio tagged redband trout. These fish must be released unharmed. The long antenna looks like fishing line coming from the abdomen. Please report any radio tagged fish.
