Black Ghost - Tandem

The Black Ghost - Tandem is a classic New England streamer designed for year-round use, making it an exceptional choice for targeting trout, salmon, and other predatory fish. As an enhanced version of the traditional Black Ghost, this fly features a tandem-hook setup, increasing its effectiveness by improving hook-up rates, especially when fish strike short. Its sleek black body and flowing wing create an enticing silhouette, mimicking a baitfish in distress.

Tied with premium materials, the Black Ghost - Tandem offers excellent movement in the water, pulsing naturally with each strip or swing. The tandem-hook design provides a more secure connection with fish, making it a reliable choice for anglers fishing in both rivers and still waters. This pattern works well in low-light conditions, deep pools, and stained water, where its contrast helps trigger aggressive strikes.

To fish the Black Ghost - Tandem effectively, swing it through runs, strip it in short, erratic bursts to imitate a fleeing baitfish, or troll it in lake settings where trout and salmon are actively feeding. This fly is particularly productive in the fall and early spring when fish are looking for larger meals before seasonal transitions.
