gadabout 0 Report post Posted January 30 The next challenge fly is a Light Spruce dry fly. Sometimes just called Spruce. Since I don’t see any online recipes for this fly, I’ll post it here. Hook: standard dry fly hook Thread: black Tail: moose body hair Body: rear half - red floss: front half peacock herl Wings: badger hackle points Hackle: badger The general style is that of a Catskill dry fly. If you have the old Orvis Pattern Index or Poul Jorgensen’s Modern Trout Flies, you will find it there. An effective and under-utilized pattern.

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted January 30 I'll take the Light Spruce only because it got me to dig into my Indexes of Orvis Patterns which I haven't done in years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted January 30 That was a challenge. I haven't done a dry like this for years. Next pattern up is Leisenring's Old Blue Dun Flymph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
