Fresno is 21% full with about 40 cfs outflow. Try trolling crank baits starting at the northeast corner of the dam near the outflow area. 15’ to 16’ seems to be the depth fish are holding.

Nelson is 76% full with no in or outflow. Surface water temps are hitting low the low 60s at mid day. Best depth seems to be in the 15’ area. The fish seem to be a bit scattered so trolling crank baits works until fish are located. Perch are still out deeper along the break lines.

Good luck.
