The Trout Royal Slam

The first time I heard of the Royal Trout Slam, I didn’t know anything about it, so I did some research on the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) website. In recognition of the importance of trout fishing, IGFA has offered a special award to those anglers that have caught seven different species of trout in their lifetimes. In order to accomplish this quest an angler must travel to many different places to have the opportunity to catch all the trout on the list. Now I’m intrigued and it’s time to go fishing!

The Trout Royal Slam consists of catching these seven species:

  • Rainbow Trout
  • Brown Trout
  • Lake Trout or Mackinaw
  • Cutthroat Trout
  • Bull Trout
  • Brook Trout
  • Golden Trout

INCREDIBLE FISHING
I plopped my mouse on the water and gave it a twitch, he turned around, and was so slow to slurp it I thought he was going to refuse. I fought him hard from the weeds and quickly tailed 25” of spring creek brown! As if it wasn’t already my trip to Patagonia is complete! I am fully content.Patagonia-Chile Fly Fishing Luxury Camp
