The Old Agency dam is maintained by fish and wildlife crew. It is a family friendly fishing spot with grills,
benches and canopy for gatherings. Families are encouraged to fish there.
Chance prize drawings were given throughout the tournament. Lunch was provided as well as a
Mothers Day Cake! This gathering is a green friendly event with minimal trash so it is environmentally
