The fishing at Frenchman's has changed a bunch over the last week. Fish have moved into shallow water and are very active in 5-15 feet of water. In the mornings fish can be seen working the shoreline chasing midges and Callabaetis. As the morning moves along the fish move out into a little deeper water as the sun grows high into the sky.

Maholo nymphs fished under an indicator can catch fish all day. Stripping just about anything in 10 feet of water will also catch fish.
