Description

The Teal & Blue Tandem Streamer combines a cool Silver Doctor Blue hairwing with a reflective silver body and distinctive teal and grizzly accents. Designed primarily for trolling Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon, it is an excellent choice for clear, cold water where fish are pursuing smelt and other silvery baitfish.

Tied in Canada by DcTackle.

Why This Pattern Works

Silver Doctor Blue over a silver body creates a cool, reflective baitfish profile, while blue grizzly and teal flank add mottled natural detail. The combination gives flash and visibility without the intensity of warmer attractor patterns.

Fishing Notes

Target Species
Landlocked Salmon
Forage Represented
Smelt, small whitefish and silvery pelagic baitfish.
How To Fish It
Troll in clear, cold water, particularly over drop-offs and open-water feeding lanes. It is well suited to situations where salmon or large trout are chasing silvery forage but a blue-toned presentation provides useful contrast.

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.
