Agate Lake is 40 percent full and anglers fishing around the dam and in the middle of the lake continue to catch bass and crappie. As the lake drops bank anglers will find opportunities for more fish as well. Anglers are encouraged to harvest any carp caught in the reservoir.

The Jackson County Park's day-use area closes after sunset and day use fees are charged. There is a 10-mph speed limit on this reservoir and electric motors only.
