Spruce Moth

Spruce Moth - The hatch typically starts during the first week in August, builds through the middle weeks, and dies before the end of the month. (Depending on air temperature and elevation, it may begin in early July and extend into late September.) Hatches get going around 8-9am and last until about 1pm. Spruce Moths range in color from Cream/Tan to gray. Average size is 1/2”, size 10-12 flies work well. If you don’t have any Spruce Moth Patterns an Elk Hair Caddis does a great job!
