The Colonel Bates – Tandem is a classic Atlantic salmon streamer originating from Maine, designed as a highly effective attractor pattern that imitates baitfish. The tandem-hook setup enhances its effectiveness, increasing hook-up rates and creating a more lifelike swimming action that entices aggressive strikes from salmon, trout, and other predatory fish.
Tied with premium materials, the Colonel Bates – Tandem features a vibrant and eye-catching design, making it a standout choice in clear and slightly stained water conditions. The tandem configuration ensures that fish that strike short are more likely to be hooked, making this fly a great option when covering large sections of water where baitfish are present.
To fish the Colonel Bates – Tandem effectively, swing it through current seams, strip it with short bursts to imitate a fleeing baitfish, or troll it in lake settings where salmon and trout are actively feeding. This fly is particularly productive during migration runs and when predatory fish are aggressively hunting baitfish.
