Description
The Superior Spruce Moth, created by Umpqua Signature Tyer Andrew Grillos, is a highly effective pattern designed specifically for the spruce moth hatch. Known for its exceptional buoyancy and durability, this fly mimics the fluttering moths that trout eagerly target during late summer. With its realistic silhouette and lifelike materials, it’s a reliable choice for anglers looking to capitalize on this seasonal event.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
When fishing the Superior Spruce Moth, target areas with overhanging conifers, especially during warm afternoons when moths are most active. A dead drift is typically effective, but adding subtle twitches can simulate a struggling moth, enticing strikes from curious trout. Be prepared for aggressive takes!
