Great evening out the other night in North Park, a little snow (6 inches) came out and so did the beasts! Fun time streamer fishing, especially throwing 2 at a time all night:cheers:

All I can say is Tandem-Streamers Tandom Streamers & Tandem Streamers
What a drive back from fishing it was up at Eisenhower Tunnel, blinding snow dumping and could only manage to go 25mph for fear of driving off the road like one person did earlier up there.
Are you sure you guys weren’t out steelheading? lol. Very nice pics. I think i’m gonna give that tandem streamer thing a try. A buddy of mine got a 24" brownie on a similar set up, this past weekend.
As long as you are confident in your ability, preferably trying during daylight hours 1st to make sure you have a decent cast down when attempting at night.
2nd, string them about 12-14" apart, the more distance the more chance the 2nd fly has to “swing” more and therefore wack you in the head or back
3rd-crimp those barbs down, very impt as mentioned in the 2nd part
4-why 2 flies, well one works but 2 works better, Trout at night let their gaurd down more and it will not spook them as much as well as using 2-3X tippet since the shadows aren’t as prolific than during the day when casting the line that wouls spook them.
5- Use coneheads and no split shot, cones will help sink (or use sinking line and no conehead) otherwise split shot will swing your line as well as slide down unexpectedly from time to time, if you must, tie a small knot on your tippet 16" above fly to keep from sliding
The guy in the picture with me is a good fisherman and never had tried the tandem till I told him to, well 1st cast and boom this big fish came out to get it…too funny!
