We are ready to stain our 1 year old treated lumber deck. There are lots of knots in the deck boards and some of the knots have divots where the center of the knot was pulled out during the milling process. Should we fill these? What should we use to fill? Would epoxy filler work?

No, leave as is. Filler will not work:
