FLY DETAILS
Hi-Vis Foam Ant
Ants are one of the most widespread and reliable terrestrial food sources for trout, and this pattern is designed to take full advantage. The Hi-Viz Foam Ant features a buoyant foam body and a parachute post for excellent visibility, making it easy to track - even in low light or shaded water. A top performer during warm months when ants regularly fall onto the water, and trout are quick to capitalize on an easy meal.

PRESENTATIONS -
Dry Fly Rig >
Often fished alone in a Dry Fly Rig or used as a highly visible lead fly in a Dry Dropper setup, making it easier to track smaller trailing patterns during a hatch.
Double Dry Dropper >
Commonly fished as the lead fly in a Double Dry setup, paired with a smaller, less visible dry fly as the dropper. Its high visibility makes it an excellent indicator, helping you track subtle takes on the trailing fly.
Dry Dropper Emerger >
This dry fly is often fished as the lead fly in a Dry Dropper Emerger rig, paired with a smaller, less visible emerger as the dropper. Its high visibility acts as a strike indicator while keeping the emerger suspended just below the surface - ideal for targeting trout feeding near the top of the water column.
This highly visible dry fly serves as a strike indicator while allowing the nymph to hang higher in the water column - an ideal setup for targeting trout feeding just below the surface.
