Description
The Flying Ant is a highly effective pattern favored by anglers for high country lakes and beaver ponds. Its versatility allows for various fishing techniques, including wet, dry, and dead drift presentations. This pattern has a reputation for driving fish into a feeding frenzy. Hook Size 12-16
Pro Tip
Fish the Flying Ant during warm, humid days or after rain, especially in areas near overhanging vegetation or along grassy banks. Present it with a dead drift to mimic a naturally floating ant. For added effectiveness, use it in a dry-dropper rig with a small nymph underneath to target fish feeding just below the surface. Choose wing materials with a slight shimmer to increase visibility and attraction.
