Nelson Reservoir Fishing Report by Lars Sorenson 6.1.25

Walleye and pike fishing on Nelson has been strong…

Walleye and Pike bite on Nelson has been good. 

5-25 feet of water has a lot of pike with a few walleye mixed in. 

25-35 feet more walleye and perch then pike. 

Pulling flicker minnows and flicker shads has been productive in shallow. 

Pitching light jigs out deep has put most of the walleye in the boat for me.
