The primary variations of this pattern come by color. White, Black, Brown, Olive, Yellow, and Mixed Colors are the best options though any colors can work. Mixing the schlappen feather colors with the chenille colors makes a good look to the fly. For example, I like an olive schlappen feathers, but black chenille body and that looks good.
It looks intimidating, but the pattern isn’t as difficult as it is time consuming. Articulated streamers provide more movement than single streamer hooks and have a better chance at hooking fish, especially when trout short-strike a fly. They have a tendency to get fowled on the hooks together and can damage the fish more since there are two hooks, but overall they have a reputation for finding big fish. Put in your time on these flies and you can be rewarded with a trophy fish.
I have thrown an articulated streamer with a 4wt. It’s possible, but isn’t recommended. A 6wt or above really helps get the fly out and a sink tip line also gets the fly deep. If you’re fishing from a boat, a sink tip isn’t often needed as your floating the speed of the water, but if you’re wading, then a sink tip line helps since you often have limited time to achieve your drift.
