Light Sprucefly

The Light Sprucefly is a vintage Western streamer — a red floss-and-peacock body with a badger hackle wing that pulses and breathes like a small baitfish or stonefly.

This time-tested pattern has fooled trout for nearly a century, its peacock sheen and soft hackle wing swimming with a lifelike action when stripped or swung through runs and along banks.

Best for:

• Stripping and swinging for trout
  
• Rivers and lakes with baitfish and stoneflies
  
• Fishing a classic, breathing streamer profile

📌 Pro Tip: Work it along undercut banks with a slow strip — the peacock body flashes and the badger wing breathes, looking like an easy meal holding tight to structure.
