Fresno is 25% full, inflow 12 cfs & outflow 40 cfs. Fishing is slow. At the time of this report, Fresno may be iced. View the webcam or call the Fresno Tavern for conditions before you trailer a boat. Nelson is 81% full with no in or out flows. Fishing for walleye, northern, and perch is excellent. Jig raps or shiver minnows in 20’ of water near points and humps are working. Again before trailering a boat check conditions as water temp last Saturday was 38 degrees. Happy Thanksgiving.
