This would be the first time for me to fly fish. I got the hang of it enought to get a grandslam which consisted of a Rainbow,Brook,Brown and Cutthroat all caught in the same day. I was the 12th person to get it this year in over 27,000 hours of fishing on the ranch.

Very cool, Robert.
A quick flyfishing lesson and your catching a slam.
Are you throwing the baitcasters away now. :lol:
