Water temperatures at Davis are in the low to mid 70's. It is really too warm to fish and not harm the fish. Fish are hanging out in deeper cooler water and really should be left alone until the water cools sometime in late August. If you have a fishing trip planned to Davis or Frenchman's fish the first hour of light in the mornings and quit early. Be prepared to take any fish you catch home in case they do not survive the fight.
