Description

This is a TRUE TO ORIGINAL Snake River Chernobyl Ant I personally tied these for Teton Valley Lodge in Driggs, ID during my winters guiding for the lodge Randy Berry originated this pattern and personally showed me how to tie it (RIP Randy, you were a great teacher) This is a near-perfect replica or our most popular color combinations The 6mm foam with a 2mm foam base makes this thing float like a cork. We used these to hold up two tungsten beadhead droppers at times We used these from opening to closing day of the season on the South Fork Snake River, ID. Cutthroat cannot resist this pattern

Field Notes

Use as a buoyant terrestrial-style dry fly on rivers and spring creeks, especially when trout are looking up to larger foam patterns. It can also support one or two beadhead droppers, making it useful as a dry-dropper indicator fly in moving water.

Pros

  • Very buoyant foam construction
  • Effective as a dry-dropper indicator
  • Strong match for trout feeding on terrestrials

Cons

  • Bulkier profile can be less subtle in calm, clear water
  • Best performance is usually in moving water
