June 15--Nunya with Tom, Brian, & Rob

3-0-0

That may sound like a low nitrogen fertilizer but that is the results at Nunya with Tom being Mr. Nitro. The the river was high and visibility was poor he managed to find three within the first fifteen minutes in the water--the brown was caught at my feet after I'd drifted my fly through the same spot several times!

After the initial thrill we were shut out for the next several miles of river--not even a take and miss.  Brian asked me after a couple of hours when we were using the same flies and tactics, "Dad, isn't insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results?"

We finally decided to be less insane and went to a lake Tom had read about and after kicking around for a while in float tubes in the middle of the sunny day without results we decided it was time for some  people food and another change of scenery.

After a nice bite and rest it was off to Little Nunya and as you can see they were littler than Nunya, but definitely more plentiful. Brian & Tom had a double in one honey hole.  You have to look carefully at the last photo because Brian's fish was dancing while Tom's was dangling.  Brian and I finally got into the show and made the afternoon totals more like a well balanced fertilizer!

They look smaller than the normal Little Nunya fish (and smaller than the normal Nunya fish, too)
