Foam Flying Ant - Black

The Flying Ant is a must-have terrestrial pattern for late summer trout fishing, when real ants swarm and hit the water in numbers. Trout key in on these protein-rich meals with remarkable intensity, often ignoring other insects during an ant fall. This fly captures the distinctive profile of a winged ant with a segmented body, hackle collar, and translucent wings that sit naturally on the surface. When the fish are turning their noses up at big hoppers, switching to a flying ant can be the difference maker.
