Description

Parachute Ant is one of the most effective ant patterns, as the realistic silhouette of this fly is extremely effective for selective fish and the parachute post makes this ant pattern easy to see on the water. The Parachute Black Ant will work in all types of water throughout the world.

Pro Tip

Fish the Parachute Ant near grassy banks, overhanging branches, or along seams where ants are likely to fall into the water. Drift it naturally on the surface and let it sit for a moment, as trout often strike after a pause. For best results in faster water, ensure the hackle is evenly wrapped to maintain proper flotation. Use different colored parachute posts for better visibility in varying light conditions.
