The Gray Ghost – Tandem stretches the most famous smelt streamer ever tied across a two-hook rig. The smoky gray-brown featherwing flows over a golden body, and the trailing rear hook extends the baitfish profile while converting the short, swiping strikes that cost fish on single-hook streamers—especially in cold water when salmon hit lazily.
Carrie Stevens' original earned its century of fame imitating smelt for Maine's landlocked salmon and brook trout, and the tandem dressing is the trolling angler's version of that legacy. The longer profile reads as a full-grown smelt cruising open water, making this the configuration of choice for working lakes at ice-out and fall turnover.
Best for:
- Trolling smelt lakes for landlocked salmon and lake trout
- Cold-water periods when fish strike short
- Presenting a larger, full-grown smelt profile
📌 Pro Tip: Troll it on a sinking line just after ice-out, varying boat speed in gentle surges—the featherwing flares on every slowdown, and the rear hook picks up the salmon that nip at the tail on the pause.
