Nelson is 75% full, inflow is 263 cfs and outflow is 169 cfs. Walleye fishing is good. Best fishing is along the weed edges in 10’ to 15’ of water. Most methods are working, I prefer swim baits. When you get hooked on a weed, rip the bait hard to clean the weed off your bait and be prepared for a bite! Good fishing.
