Description
A classic Washington State stillwater fly.
This pattern, named after the late Dr. Donald A. Spratley of Mount Vernon, Washington, is one of the most effective wet fly patterns in British Columbia, particularly in waters with good caddisfly hatches. Mrs. Dorothy Prankard Schracht of Mount Vernon said her husband, the late Dick Prankard, originated the pattern about 1949. She said he called the fly Doc Spratley because the doctor came into the store at the time he was tying it and asked Dick what the name was. Dick replied, “I think I’ll call it the Doc Spratley.” Prankard’s wife tied the fly commercially for several years. Dr Spratley used the pattern in British Columbia. It is still a highly popular pattern wherever large caddisflies hatch.
