Fresno and Nelson Reservoirs Fishing Report by Brian Olson 3.15.24

Angela Montana · March 15, 2024

Fresno is 26% full. Inflow 193 cfs and outflow 93 cfs. Nelson is 78% full inflow 133 cfs and 0 outflow. I have no current fishing reports as ice conditions are deteriorating. Both reservoirs are ice covered but the shorelines are melting. Be safe if you venture ice fishing.
