The Dolly Llama Tandem works well for both salmon and trout. I used it in a clear stream and the natural color matched the environment. I was able to remove the front hook when needed, which was helpful for different fishing conditions.

Great fly for beginners and experienced anglers. The tandem design gives more options, and the bright colors catch fish well in open water. I had to check local rules before using it in a lake.

I caught several salmon with this fly during a trip to a coastal area. The two-hook setup is effective, and I found it easy to adjust by removing one hook when targeting trout.
