Fresno is 32% full, inflow 22 cfs & outflow 101 cfs. Not much structure is left in the water. Limits of walleyes are still being caught using sonar equipment to locate them. Depth may vary with about 25’ being the deepest. 1st lake & the reservation reservoirs may also be good options. Special licenses are required for those reservoirs.

Nelson is 80% full, inflow is 230 cfs & 0 outflow. Fishing for all species is good. Fish the weed lines for northerns & walleyes. For perch locate them in deep holes. Good luck.
