OTHER: Wind direction totally changed from yesterday, coming out of the east today (wind from the east, fishing the least). Fished solo, and started river-left at 2nd island. Some idiot was standing right in the middle of the small riffle, and put the fish down. Tried downstream, but no luck. Moved to river-right at Cook's Island, and again, another idiot was standing right in the middle of the riffle; wish these guys would stay home! Anyway, saw some rises and threw everything in the fly box at them. Finally, put on the last Dunn's Dunn I had, and it was a modification with a zelon tail, thus called a Dunn's Z-Dun. It seemed to do the trick, though I only picked up a couple, and I fished hard for those two. The first idiot left, so I moved back upstream, switched to a Ginger Cockleburr, and caught a rainbow and a brown. It was not a bad day, but I fished hard for all 4 fish.
