Carpenter Ant

Rainy's Carpenter Ant is a highly effective pattern known for its effectiveness in enticing fish. Featuring a high-visibility post, this fly remains visible in various weather conditions, ensuring anglers can track its movement easily. The multi-colored body provides a distinct hot spot, attracting fish and increasing the likelihood of strikes. Hook size 12-14

Fish the Rainy’s Carpenter Ant along grassy banks, under overhanging vegetation, or in eddies where ants are likely to collect. Use a dead drift for a natural presentation, but don’t hesitate to add slight twitches to mimic the movement of a struggling ant. Pair it with a dropper nymph to cover subsurface feeders while maintaining the buoyancy of the ant pattern.
