Nelson Reservoir Ice Report 12.4.25

Heading on the ice at Nelson? Read this first…

The following report is via Fort Peck Fishing Guides:

*****ICE REPORT ******
Nelson Reservoir- I just spudded my way out at the state park ramp and punched a couple holes. It was 4-4.5” close to shore but as I worked my way out, it quickly diminished to 2.5”. That may be enough for some, but not me. Be safe out there!!!

“I made it 75 yards or so before turning around.”
