Agate Lake is 17 percent full, and the boat ramp remains usable. Numerous large carp have been caught recently at Agate, with corn being the most common bait. Warmwater fishing has slowed a little with the cooler nights, but fish are still biting if you can find them around structures.

Carp are an introduced fish that can harm water quality/clarity and productivity of waterbodies, so anglers are encouraged to harvest and remove any carp caught in the reservoir.
