The Black & Blue Marabou Streamer is a versatile salmon and steelhead fly pattern, also used in freshwater for big browns and bass. It’s built around movement and contrast, with the marabou breathing in the water to give it lifelike motion. Here’s a standard recipe and overview:
Pattern Overview
-
Style: Streamer
-
Target Species: Atlantic salmon, steelhead, trout, bass
-
Key Traits: Dark profile with blue accents, excellent in low light or slightly stained water
Fishing Notes
-
Swing it on a sink tip for salmon or steelhead in darker water.
-
Strip it actively for trout or bass; the marabou pulses naturally.
-
The black/blue contrast is deadly at dawn, dusk, or in overcast conditions.
