This has been fishing good to very good all Fall. RFS guide Brendan has been able to utlize the boat to search for and find fish. Many of the fish found have been subsurface and holding about 6-12 feet. Balanced Leech and stillwater nymphs like the Micro Holo Midge and Yankee Buzzer have put some really nice trout in the net.

We will continue to fish it and guide it until the reservoir freezes over.

Flies we suggest for Frenchman's: Yankee Buzzer, Micro Holo Midge, Mini Jigged Leech, RFS Balanced Leech, Balanced Chub, Jiggy Fat Minnow
