My first one…
After work I went up in the mountains (West Va. side) fished for bout an hour, had several rises and caught a small brookie, a nice size brown 11-12, and a good size rainbow 13-14 inches, I didn’t even think about it until on my way home, I was driving down 81 reflecting on the evening an it hit me…lol Tim ya caught a grand slam!!! lol My first one ever, I have caught browns and bows together, brookies in separate waters, but never all three in the same water…:):)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I actually talked to Tim about this a wee bit earlier tonight, & he was PUMPED! Quite an accomplishment, & on the stream where Tim guided me to my 1st brookie there in the Shenandoah Mountains. Maybe he & I will go back so I can get MY slam.
Mike
I have been corrected via PM, ( and I am glad I was) that an actual grandslam would include a fourth fish such as a Cutthroat… I didn’t think of that cause we don’t have other trout around here that I am aware of… Still, Hey how about a triple hitter!!! LOL I did have a great evening on the water…
Mike thank you for your kind words…
Way to go, Tim !!
Seems that no matter what else happens on a given day on the water, a Grand Slam is special. The first one is really special. But you will enjoy every one, for sure.

Grubb,
It’s rumored that you can catch cutt’s down stream of the Jennings Randolph Dam on the Maryland/West Virginia line. I’ve heard this from a few folks and seen it printed some place but can’t remember the source. So, I suppose it’s possible to get all four species. All things being equal, I’d be pretty pleased with your trifecta!
Tim -
Some one is pulling your chain, as far as I’m concerned. A grand slam is what is in the system you are fishing. If you don’t have cutts in that creek, they aren’t required for a grand slam.
Interesting that whoever it was that sent you that PM didn’t post it publicly.
John
JohnScott they wasn’t being unice, the PM was very respectful with consideration and happiness for my day, not a bad PM and a grandslam by definition I would guess the bases would have to be loaded…
Have to make a change on the size of the Bow…lol I have a pic of it beside my rod and after reviewing the pic, and getting out a measuring tape to measure my rod, I have to say the bow is 12-13 not 13-14…lol the brookie is 5-6 inches, I didn’t get a chance to get a pic of the brown cause he escaped off the hook as I was reaching down to get a hold on him for a pic, so his length will have to stand as is, with a calibrated eye used for measurement…lol
That sounds wonderful… that’s one of my favorite regions in the Atlantic states.
Take some photos, buddy… pleeease. 
khao-sok I got some, and I’v gotten them into a folder on my puter, now I need to learn how to get them into photo bucket then on to here. Mike (Ohiotuber) said when I got ready to he would walk me threw it on the phone, I think it will take along time to do that. But I plan on trying to get it done soon. I enjoy seeing everyone else’s photo’s and I would enjoy sharing mine as well…
Thanks everyone for sharing in my fun and posting…
…
PS: Hopefully pics soon to follow…
I have my favorite rod wrapped at two inch intervals after 12 inches. I measure every good fish…it’s my de-lier and really helps when shooting photos
Tim -
Look for a PM on how to post pics using photobucket.
John
I love it. I wrap all of my rods with a 12-inch start point and then every four inches out to 24 inches. On my 8wt I then jumped 6 inches out to 30 and 36. I know - wishful thinking, but hey, it beats trying to measure everything with a tape. Also, I use Measure Net just to keep things honest.
I think a “slam” is whatever works for the water you’re on. If there are no Cutts in your particular water, or any of the other particular species, then a slam is catching one of each species that do reside there.
Way to go!
Fair enough Grubb, I don’t really know how to upload photos either. :lol:
I’m lookin’ forward to seeing your shots.
Heres the stretch of water I caught the grand slam out of…
Mike this is just below where you and I were…
Brooki
Rainbow
The brown you’ll just have to take my word for, he was to fast getting back into the water…
Excellent! Thanks Grubb!
What’s the name of that stream or is it top secret?
I’m heading back to visit my family in the middle of June. I wonder if there’s any chance of finding some trout biting at that time of the year? If not, I’ll go for some smallies. :tieone:
Cheers,
Dave
oh yeah, its not until August that that stream will get to much effect from the heat to fish, its called Dry Run River up on 33 west, headed toward WV, there’s even a beautiful lake up top that can be fished as well.
B-4 you get here give me a holler, if I have time and you want, maybe we can hook up for a day…
