The Barnes Special – Tandem rigs Maine's beloved yellow-grizzly streamer across two hooks for the troll. The barred yellow saddle wing rides over red and white bucktail spanning the tandem frame—the Barnes Special's proven balance of brightness and broken-pattern realism, stretched to full baitfish length with hooking coverage at both ends.
Adapted long ago from the Hurricane pattern, the Barnes earned its tandem dressing on the big landlocked salmon lakes, where trolled streamers cover the water casting never could. The rear hook converts cold-water short strikes, and the barred wing flares enticingly with every change of boat speed.
Best for:
- Trolling for landlocked salmon and brook trout
- Clear to lightly stained big water
- Spring and fall baitfish feeding windows
📌 Pro Tip: Make the Barnes your bright-but-believable middle option in a three-rod spread—between a dark Kennebago and a flashy Mickey Finn, it's the fly that takes fish on the days neither extreme produces.
