Amys Ant

The Amy's Ant, created by Jack Dennis in the late 1990s, was designed specifically for the renowned Jackson Hole One Fly Tournament. This foam attractor pattern combines a highly buoyant design with a buggy, lifelike appearance, making it a versatile choice for imitating large terrestrials like grasshoppers, beetles, and ants. Its intricate construction and visible profile make it a favorite among anglers targeting trout in fast-moving waters or during terrestrial season.

Drop the Amy's Ant near shaded areas under trees or bushes where terrestrials might fall into the water. Let it sit briefly, then give it a sharp twitch to mimic a struggling insect. This sudden movement can trigger aggressive strikes from trout lurking nearby.
