Fresno is 33% full with no inflow & 118 cfs outflow. The only report I received as fishing goes was shore fishing was poor.
Nelson is 79% full with no inflow & 306 cfs outflow. Fishing for all species remains good. For northerns & walleyes the edge of weeds using bottom bouncers with crawlers, leeches, & live minnows is working. For perch fish the break lines in about 25’ using small jigs with small live minnows & leeches.
Good luck.
