Psycho Ant

The Psycho Ant is a high-visibility terrestrial pattern designed to ride low in the film while staying unsinkable thanks to its durable foam body. Its bold, segmented profile imitates a struggling ant blown onto the water, while the rubber or silicone legs add lifelike twitching motion that triggers fast reactions from opportunistic trout. Often tied with a touch of flash, the Psycho Ant delivers a buggy, attention-grabbing appearance that stands out during late-summer terrestrial season or anytime wind pushes insects onto the water.

Lightly trim the bottom of the foam body so the fly sits slightly tilted forward in the film—this makes the rubber legs pulse on even the smallest current seams, giving the Psycho Ant a “struggling terrestrial” posture that triggers more confident eats, especially in slower water.
