Fresno is now at 41% full. Inflow about 180cfs & outflow about 40 cfs. Nelson is 77% full with inflow about 280cfs & no outflow. Most reservoirs the ice caps have lifted away from shorelines & are very difficult to access the ice. Shore fishing is the best opportunity. Trout fishing on the area ponds is excellent. It’s muddy so be careful. Good luck.
