Fresno and Nelson Reservoirs Fishing Report by Brian Olson 10.5.23

Fresno seems to be holding at about 25% full. Most of the structure is out of or in very shallow water. Fishing is fair. The ramp at the dam is useable and in good shape. Nelson is quite full and fishing is good. The fish I’m catching are using the weed lines. My best depths are from 8’ to 15’ of water. The water temps are cooling but be aware of the normal fall winds. Good fishing.
