Anglers are enjoying 15-18 inches of ice.  Watch out for open water at the Nelson boat rampJigging in up to 40 feet of water with 1/4 ounce Rattling Buck shot in orange or chartreuse tipped with a piece of a minnow bout a foot from the bottom.  

Let the lure hang and move slightly. 

——————————————-
Fresno is 14% full. Nelson is 69% full. Both reservoirs are ice covered.

Vehicles are driving on Nelson. Be aware of open areas & gas pockets. Noise or rattle jigs can work well. Fish areas where your tip ups are the most active.

Good luck.
