Idaho Fish Report

Algae has been abundant throughout the lake but lessened during the last major storm. The Petric Park Boat Ramp is open with docks installed. The Henzel Park Boat Ramp docks are in. Angling is good at the mouth of the Wood River. Try for yellow perch at the mouth of Sevenmile Canal. The lake is approximately 2 feet below full pool.

Redband Trout numbers are down due to record setting drought in 2020 through 2022, resulting in poor survival of juvenile redband trout and subsequent recruitment into the adult population.

Closed to angling for salmon. Open year-round for Redband Trout. 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. Brown Trout are rare in the catch but there is no size or bag limit.

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.
