Do you all throw double streamers for trout? I fish really pressured trout stream that tends to be skinny water. A few weeks ago I saw a guy catcher a few nice ones on streamers and decided to try it out yesterday. At first I threw one steamer and got very little attention. Then I added a larger fly to trail the smaller and I had so many follows and a few eats but only two hookups. I’ve never had so much action on that river.

Either Think finesse if your fishing a heavily pressured stream or go to target the alpha trout in each hole and keep moving on stream. Ofc this heavily depends on where your fishing.
If the river is all stocker bows, Your better off matching the hatch imo in a heavy pressure situation. Doing this in a super heavily pressured river in the NE I can end up with 30-50 fish in a day with the right presentation.
If there’s bows + browns…single zonker, sculpin, muddler etc… can get you the big fish but you’ll also likely fish all day with only 1-3 fish total.
It’s also real hard to cast 2 streamers and have them both act natural while stripping, if your dead drifting the streamers tie a wet fly first to fish the middle/top column and then tie your streamer off the 1st hook as an anchor, tick the bottom with it. Surprisingly effective.
Tight lines!!
