Color: The fly often uses a color scheme involving black, brown, which can be visually appealing to fish in a variety of water conditions.
Materials: The fly may be made with a combination of materials such as feathers, hair, tinsel, and synthetic fibers. These materials provide lifelike movement in the water and reflect light to draw the attention of fish.
Design: The fly's design is streamlined and elongated, resembling a small fish or other prey. The head of the fly may include a weighted element to help it sink and move more naturally in the water.
Fishing Technique: When fishing with streamer flies, anglers often use a variety of retrieve techniques to simulate the erratic movement of prey, such as stripping the line in quickly, pausing, or using a steady, slow retrieve.

As with any fly pattern, success with the Ace of Spades streamer fly will depend on factors such as water conditions, fish behaviour and the angler's technique.
