To the TPO crew,

Tonight I was fishing on the Pomperaug downstream from O & G and I witnessed something I have never seen before and have no expanation for. I'm hoping one of you guys may have an answer or at least a theory. I was standing on the edge of a small sand bar in the middle of the stream as a friend who is learning to fly fish was nymphing in the fast water to the left. On my right was a small slow pool. I saw two browns (12"-14") swimming together in very shallow water so I froze and watched them. They were swimming side by side but then one would veer into the other and hit it somewhat aggressively. At one point they swam within two feet of me as I stood still in about two feet of water. I watched them continue this erratic behavior up and down the length of this pool (about 30&#039. I could not tell if one trout was the aggressor or if they were both aggressive but this continued for more than five minutes. After a while, I put my nymphs past them but they showed no interest. They were not put off this bizarre behavior by my flies, SI or fly line. It just seemed really weird. Any input you guys have would be great. Thanks.

Best,

John
