Hi Rob. Nice streamer pattern. Very reminiscent of New England style tandem streamers like from Maine and definitely catch fish when trolled. Finally, I’m finished my deck project, it came out really nice and the wife is so pleased that there’s now a new dishwasher going in today. Retirement is busier than working! Keep catching some while I’m laboring here. C u next time.
Nice! Interesting configuration with the opposing hook directions. That's really simple, but I don't have the patience in between coffee cups. Your camera work has improved a lot. Love the guizzar playing intro too! Let me know if you need more bucktail, LOL!
For Ed Bendl, the man who taught me these flies, he trolled with a motor boat with a sinking line in the Spring and Fall. He was in his older years and could still fly fish this way. For me, I go out in a boat in the springtime and fish them with a sinking, shooting head fly line. The water is about 4-6 feet deep on the flats in the lake that are off of the spawning streams where the smelt are running. It is an early morning/late evening fishery.

Tom- I too spent the summer working on a deck. Painting and replacing boards. Thankfully, it is done and I can fish! Good luck to you as well.

It is a simple style of fly to tie. Shouldn't take too long. I've caught a bunch of trout in lakes with Ed's flies.
Would love to see how these flys are fished, setup, boat etc
