Description

The Emerald Blue Tandem Streamer combines rich emerald green and Kingfisher blue with a reflective silver body to create a highly effective baitfish profile. Designed primarily for trolling Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon, its flowing hairwing and subtle flash make it an excellent choice for covering open water where fish are pursuing smelt and other silvery forage.

Tied in Canada by DcTackle.

Why This Pattern Works

Emerald green and Kingfisher blue create a cool-toned baitfish profile over a reflective silver body. Blue flash adds scale-like glint without overwhelming the wing, giving the pattern a balance of natural movement and attractor colour.

Fishing Notes

Target Species
Landlocked Salmon
Forage Represented
Smelt, shiners and other silvery baitfish; also effective as a general attractor.
How To Fish It
Troll through clear water and over open-water structure where salmon and larger trout are searching for baitfish. A good change-up from conventional white or grey smelt patterns when fish have seen considerable pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are DcTackle tandem streamers individually tied and assembled by DcTackle?
Yes. Every DcTackle tandem streamer is individually tied and assembled by DcTackle. Keeping the complete tying and assembly process in-house allows us to maintain consistent construction, material selection and quality standards across every tandem streamer we produce.
Why does DcTackle use a tandem hook design on these streamers?
The tandem design allows us to create a longer, more traditional streamer profile while positioning a second hook farther back in the fly. This configuration is particularly well suited to longer baitfish-style patterns and provides the proportions and movement we are looking for in our tandem streamers
How are the front and rear hooks connected?
The front and rear hooks are securely connected using 90 lb Surflon stainless-steel, nylon-coated saltwater leader wire. The connection is firmly secured to both hooks with nylon thread and reinforced with Zap CA adhesive for maximum strength and a durable, permanent connection.
What is the difference between a tandem streamer and a single-hook streamer?
A tandem streamer uses separate front and rear hooks connected together, allowing the fly to maintain a longer baitfish profile while placing a hook farther back in the pattern. A single-hook streamer is constructed entirely on one hook and generally produces a more compact profile. Both designs can be effective—the choice depends on the pattern, presentation and fishing situation.
