I lived close to French for 8 years and fished it a ton. I quit fishing it two years ago. There has been an ongoing problem with some non-conforming septic systems and dairy farm runoff. The algae bloom is ridiculous and water clarity is measured in inches not feet. Plan on washing your boat/lures/gear when you get home. If its not pea soup expect brown gravy. JUNK!!!

Was on French for the opener. Temps were around 71. Lake was already getting green. We moved four fish, including one over 45". Every fish went around in the 8 at least once. Not too many musky boats on the water for the opener this year.
