Did the impossible tonight

[Eagle Claw]

Tonight I did the impossible or maybe the equivalent of hitting a hole in one, a once in a lifetime event. I was fishing KLG and had a hit and as I was bringing the fish in I noticed other fish moving about. I thought to myself their must be a lot of fish in the pool because my hooked fish is scaring other fish in the pool. However, I soon realized I had two fish on which is why I thought I saw other fish moving about. As I was lifting the head of the first fish I got a hit on my third fly and now had three fish. It gets even better, I had a brown, rainbow and brookie all on 6x using a 3wt rod which is why nothing broke off. I never caught two at once, three was crazy and a grand slam even more strange. The brown hit the 14 Adams parachute, the rainbow hit the
16 Elk Hair Caddis and the Brookie a 16 grey RS2 emerger. The brown was
about 12 inches, the bow a little smaller and the native brookie 4 inches.
Why did I have three flys you may ask, well I just wanted to see what they would take. What are the odds of getting three and each a different trout.
Has anyone else ever experienced that ?

Great story way to go !! Sounds like your well on your way to getting struck by lightening the odds are in your favor!!

Only kidding as the odds are staggering for both!! Nice job really!

 

[CTobias]

Wouldn't that be a triple? I thought a grand slam was four runs? Either way congrats.

 

[Eagle Claw]

Thanks, I don't think I will ever do that again in my lifetime.
One cast, three fish, three varieties and I also ended the night with a 17 inch
brown on a sulfer

Now if you were Euro nymphing, you would have caught even more than three fish on those three flies........on every cast. :rofl:

That's pretty cool, nice going.

EC,

I've never heard of anyone catching 3 at a time before. You sir, are my hero. I've caught 2 at a time many times, but only within a day or two of the stocking truck passing by, when the stockies are as thick as flys.

I'd bet no one was around to show your spectacular catch to.

Once upon a time... I did the impossible or maybe the equivalent of hitting a hole in one, a once in a lifetime event. I was fishing KLG and had a hit and as I was bringing the fish in I noticed other fish moving about.

I do almost every night, right before the sleep fairy sprinkles sleepy dust in my eyes.

I usually always carry my camera but it was late and little sun so left it in the car, as it turned out it was just starting to get dark and I could have had a shot, really pissed me off,

 

[webdevmonkey]

I once had a bass eat the sunfish that hit my foam spider. After 30 seconds of fighting, he jumped out of the water and spit the fish out.

I landed the sunfish.

 

[Corndog]

Great story monkey,

Reminds me of one. I was fishing the Old Bridge Pool on the Flatbrook with my son. He hooked a typical stockie rainbow on a BHPT. I was watching him fight it when this pickerel came out from under an overhanging boulder and attacked it. He landed both fish only cause the pickerel wouldn't let go of the trout. Both fish were realeased unharmed. Well almost unharmed, the trout had bite marks all over it and was probably in shock.

A few times, I've caught little 9-10 trout. At first they feel like little fish. Then all of the sudden while you're bringing it in, the line gets very heavy. Last year on the WB, this happened to me and as I got the fish in closer, a HUGE brown trout had the smaller fish in its mouth. It looked like a dog with a bone. I've also had a few times whereas the smaller fish was all the way down the larger fish's throat!

Here's a question...

If this happens on a no-live-bait section can you be fined for your catch of the bigger fish?

Haha. Good question. Probably not. I would just tell the conservation officer I am that good that I can catch two fish on one fly.
