Fresno is 24% full with a slight inflow & about 100 cfs outflow. The dam ramp is usable. For best results fish near the dam or try 1st lake.

Nelson is 81% full with little to no inflow or outflow. Fishing remains good. For walleye & northerns fish the weed lines in about 12’ of water. For perch & crappie fish the deeper basin areas where ever you mark them. There is also a fishable smallmouth population there, fish the rock piles & rocky points for results. Good luck.
