Every spring in Maine there’s a short window when the ice finally disappears and landlocked salmon and brook trout can be had near the surface of Maine's big lakes. For generations, anglers have taken advantage of that moment by slowly trolling classic streamer patterns across cold, dark water. One of the most common methods is the tandem streamer, which is a traditional fly tied with two hooks. In this episode, we talk about the history of ice-out trolling in Maine, how tandem streamers work, and why this simple technique is one of the most traditional ways to catch salmon and trout in Maine. Enjoy!
