Fishing the Flying Ant
The first thing you are going to notice is the detail we have gone to trying to closely
imitate the real flying ants. The wings looks almost exactly like the real things and are set
at an angle so the fly want twist on the cast as well as look like the real wings. Notice the
added detail on the legs.
When these flies fall on the water (and we wish we knew exactly when that would
happen), they usually do so in huge quantities. Those in the picture we picked up in one
bare scoop of the hand on the Lewis River in Yellowstone National Park. There were
thousands on the water. Even so, we were still able to catch several trout on our Flying
Ant imitation. Trout were gorging themselves on them - scoops of them. This turned the
normally difficult to fish Lewis River into frantic action. Don't be caught in this situation
without flying ant imitations. If you do, you may as well leave the stream.
How do you fish it? That is the easy part. Just cast the fly into the feeding frenzy.
