Description
Chernobyl Ant Black – High-Floating Terrestrial Attractor Fly
The Chernobyl Ant Black is one of the most popular large terrestrial and attractor patterns in modern fly fishing. Designed to imitate big foam-bodied insects such as beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, and stoneflies, this fly is an excellent choice when trout are keyed in on big meals floating along the surface. Its black color provides a bold silhouette that stands out in any light condition, making it a reliable fly for summer and fall fishing.
Design / Features
Tied with durable foam, rubber legs, and a segmented body, the Chernobyl Ant Black offers buoyancy and movement in equal measure. The foam body ensures it floats high even in rough water, while the rubber legs kick and pulse, giving the fly irresistible motion. Its oversized profile acts as both an attractor and an imitator, drawing strikes even when specific insects are not present.
When and Where to Use
The Chernobyl Ant Black excels on freestones, tailwaters, and high-country streams where terrestrials tumble into the water. It is especially effective during late summer and early fall, but it also works year-round as a searching pattern. Ideal for dry-dropper setups, it has the buoyancy to carry heavier nymphs below while still enticing surface strikes.
