Justin Spencer Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Fished last night from Sunburst to Patrick. Caught a smallmouth before I even got to the first riffle (brown rubberlegs). Fished slowly through the frog water waiting on some tubers and picked up a goggle eye on the same fly. That got me thinking I needed to add the two species of trout and I would have myself the 4 most sought after fish species on this river. Got to trout island and quickly picked up my brown trout on a yellow rubberlegs. Then moved to the swiftest water to try and finish out my "slam". Caught another brown, shifted sides of the island a picked up a nice 16" colorful rainbow on the yellow rubberlegs to finish up my first North Fork "super slam". Picked up one more 4 inch rainbow on my way to the bridge. Fishing was tough after trout island, but I couldn't have asked for a nicer evening. Last week was seeing lot's of golden stones so be sure to have something yellow in a size 8 or smaller.

MaxDrown Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 The "Tiger Slam" was all 4 majors in a row, but not in the calendar year. Your slam is much cooler. -- Max Drown
Terry Beeson Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I was at ROLF yesterday afternoon and crossed Patrick's a couple of times (no time to fish though.) I might have wet a line at the bridge had the swimmers not been stirring up the water. Got to leave myself more time next trip over...

eric1978 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 I'm a baseball guy, so I'd say you hit for the cycle. The goggle eye was a single, rainbow was a double, and depending on the sizes and quality, the smallie and brown have to fight it out for triple and homer. Sounds like fun.
