Where & When to Use: Best from late spring through fall when terrestrials are active, but especially effective after rainstorms or windy days when ants get knocked into the water. Extra Tip(s): Try it in faster water where that tungsten bead and uv coating help it cut through the current and get right into the strike zone. What’s in the Pack: 3x Sunken Ants tied on premium hooks with tungsten beads.

Field Notes

Fish this as a subsurface fly when ants or other terrestrials are getting blown into the water. It works well in faster current and can be fished in a double nymph rig or as a dropper under a dry fly to imitate a drowned ant drifting helplessly below the surface.

Pros

  • Tungsten bead helps it sink quickly
  • Buggy profile with added flash
  • Versatile in nymph and dry-dropper setups

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are keyed strictly to surface insects
  • Small profile can be hard to see on the water
