Ants

Ant patterns consist of a slender body, ranging in colors black, brown, and red. Typically they have thin legs extending from the sides. The body may be segmented to mimic the natural appearance of an ant. Ant patterns are usually tied with materials like dubbing, hackle, and foam to provide buoyancy and realism. These flies are effective for imitating ants when they fall onto the water's surface or are blown onto the surface by wind, making them irresistible to trout and other freshwater fish. Ant patterns are versatile and can be fished in various sizes to match different species of ants found near water bodies. The (3) patterns listed below are proven flies.
