Tandem Trolling Streamers
Tandem Trolling Streamers
Tandem trolling streamers have helped anglers catch trout for generations. By fishing two flies together, anglers can present multiple profiles, colors, and sizes at the same time. As a result, tandem streamer setups often increase opportunities and help identify what fish prefer on a given day.
Many anglers use tandem rigs when fishing lakes and ponds because they effectively imitate small schools of baitfish and other forage. Additionally, fishing two streamers allows anglers to cover different depths and presentations with a single setup.
