Field Notes

This is a sunken ant pattern, best fished as a subsurface fly when trout are keying on terrestrials or small drifting insects. It works well on a dead drift under an indicator or as part of a nymph rig, especially in slower seams, pocket water, and riffles where trout feed near the film or just below it.

Pros

  • Realistic drowned-ant profile for selective trout
  • Tungsten bead helps it get down quickly
  • Barbless hook is fish-friendly

Cons

  • Small profile can be hard to see on the water
  • Best results usually require precise drift control
