Description
The Green Ant, created by Mike Arhutick, is a distinguished steelhead fly pattern that has proven effective in various rivers, including the Snake, Grande Ronde, and Clearwater. Arhutick's design may have been inspired by the Rogue Red Ant, an original pattern by Mike Kennedy. The Green Ant's vibrant green body and contrasting components make it particularly appealing to steelhead, especially in low-light conditions. Its simplicity and effectiveness have solidified its status as a go-to pattern for many anglers targeting steelhead in the Pacific Northwest.
Pro Tip
Low-Light Conditions: The Green Ant excels during early morning or late evening when light levels are low. Its bright coloration enhances visibility, making it an excellent choice for enticing steelhead during these periods
