THE ULTIMATE FLY FISHING TEST - Tom Rosenbauer in The DSP Slush Slam

- The Grand Slam is one of the most challenging scenarios that a fly angler can achieve. Traditionally, in the world of flats fishing, to pull off a Grand Slam requires that the angler catches a tarpon, permit, and bonefish all over the course of one day on the water. Anyone who has spent time on the front of a flats skiff knows that accomplishing the Grand Slam is no small feat and it requires every bit of skill and luck an angler muster.
Back in October, everyone's fly fishing mentor Tom Rosenbauer, the host of the Orvis Fly Fishing podcast - among many other things, was making the rounds on the Front Range and we were able to schedule a day on the water with the legend himself. An honor to say the least. Here was the catch - Tom only had a couple of hours to get out with a speaking engagement later in the day. Mr. Rosenbauer - who is no stranger to fly fishing for carp - wanted to check a Denver South Platte carp off his list. Luckily, our own Rick Mikesell is a certified DSP junkie and knows the ways of the common carp (as well as the stocking history - just ask him about it).
As our day on the water neared, it became painfully clear that the first snowstorm of the season was going to make its appearance the very same day. So, it was time to pivot. We devised the elusive DSP Slush Slam. What does the DSP Slush Slam entail? An angler must catch a common carp, white sucker and rainbow trout out of the Denver South Platte during a winter storm.
What makes the DSP so challenging? Well, carp are a tough enough quarry when water temperatures and sunlight are more favorable. Rainbow trout are only seasonally catchable in the DSP. The white sucker, well this native species is becoming pickier and pickier after we threatened to change our name to SUCKERS FLY FISHING.
Here was our attempt at achieving the DSP Slush Slam with the one and only Tom Rosenbauer.

I love the stress and excitement of the days you STRUGGLE and finally hook up. That one fish, regardless of size, at that time is your most important catch ever. Luckily for Tom that was a tank. Well done
Glad to see even the great Tom R. has “those kind of days” replete with crap weather, uncooperative fish and lots of cursing. 🤣 looked like fun!
Again WOW! Tom and Rick have gained even more respect from me now. Thanks for sharing. I take the Bus down from Boulder with my bike. Then I take light rail to Mineral Ave. The wading is easy when the water is low. Check out the Mississippi Ave. bridge over the SP for giant rainbows, above and below the bridge. Use a black leach with lead eyes.
1st off Badass Orvis truck graphics!
2nd any fish in any weather is what is is truly all about!
*Cherry on top!.....Tom grinding with the Trout crew in the "D" before an appearance, on the inner city Platte, in the Winter, PRICELESS!!! Dilly, Dilly boys👐🍻
Slushy! Slammy! Glad Tom finally got a fish. What an epic battle is was, too!

Besides mulberry hatch, one of my best days carp fishing was in winter when they stack up on those warm water discharge pipes.

Some days I fish two or more rivers, but I have never targeted more than one species per trip. What a fun idea!
