The Dark Sprucefly is the shadowed version of the Pacific Northwest classic: a red floss body behind a peacock butt, with dark furnace hackle wings laid back. Born for sea-run cutthroat and adopted by brook trout anglers everywhere, it swims rather than drifts.
Fish it on the swing or with short strips—the hackle wings breathe like a small baitfish or drowned sedge, and the dark dress excels in stained water and low light.
Best for:
- Swinging runs for cutthroat and brookies
- Stained water and evening light
- Classic wet-style presentations
📌 Pro Tip: Cast across, let it swing through the tailout, and hold the hang ten seconds—spruce fly fish famously hit at the very end of the arc.
