The fishing has been pretty good but not great. Davis is shallower than Frenchman's and it takes a little longer in the fall for water to cool. Fish are still being caught but they are in a little deeper water. Woolybuggers and Leaches fished on a faster sinking line in 8-14 feet of water will work as well as Deep Line "DCA" rigs. Coca Pods are still kind of unchecked at Davis and the fish have soars and scars on them for sure. Hopefully they will continue to clean up in the months to come.
