Fresno is 20% full, no inflow & about 50 cfs outflow.

Nelson is 75% full with no in or outflow. The body of water is 5 foot down so set your water off sets to -5 foot. Surface temps are mainly in the 50s. Walleye, northern, & perch fishing is excellent. Try jig raps in 20-38 feet of water along the main lake drop offs.

Good luck.
