Description

The Cinnamon Flying Ant Is one of the best ant patterns for stillwaters and water were fish have time to look at the fly. Ant hatches or mating swarms put large numbers on the water and fish will key specifically on the cinnamon or red colored ants. The silhouette and natural wing color match a flying ant perfectly and make the fly easy to see on the water. For years anglers fishing high mountain lakes have found great success with this pattern, now it is used as a standard ant pattern on almost any water.

Field Notes

Best fished as a dry fly during ant hatches or when fish are feeding on terrestrial insects. It shines on stillwaters and high mountain lakes where trout have time to inspect the fly, and it can also work on almost any water when ants are present.

Pros

  • Highly realistic flying ant silhouette
  • Good visibility on the water
  • Effective during ant swarms and terrestrial falls

Cons

  • Can be selective and less effective when fish are not keyed on ants
  • Small dry fly can be hard to see in rough water
