    Default Frenchman's or Lake Davis reports?

    Hi All,

    Was just wondering if there were any good reports on either of these lakes.

    I think a month or two ago there was one, but haven't seen anything since.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    I put the report a while back. We went a few weeks after that report to Frenchman and fished same area by launch ramp and worked back toward where water comes in by campground. We till caught quite a few but it was was slower and fish were much deeper. we had to fish 20-30ft depths. Might wanna try other side of the lake toward other ramp or Turkey Point area. I think we just lucked out cause the main ramp and even the campgrounds were closed so there was no one else there. No boat traffic at all.

    Think everyone is fishing Pyramid Lake right now.

    Thank you KD...I recall you did well....looks like a full sink line might not even get to them.

    Thanks for the reply.

    My friend Don Rotsma who lived on Davis Lake and guided there just told me he would be going out to Davis and Frenchman soon and......

    ...........would report back to me.


    He said that Davis Lake is going to be planted by CF&W soon because it doesn't have many fish but they are big.



    Last night Don was just running his big boat for the first time this summer on Frenchman.

    He said there was a Blood Midge emergence.....

    The bigger the trout, the more bass fry they'll eat.................. need balance restored in that lake...... snails too.

    Miss the "old" Davis Lake...... sans Pike, Ick and too many bass.

    Can you believe it's been 20+ years since the first treatment?!?!?! 10+ since the 2nd treatment. Never been the same.
