ANT SAILOR BLACK
$1.89
Ant Sailor Black is a realistic terrestrial fly that imitates black ants. A proven trout pattern for summer fishing on rivers, creeks, and lakes.
Description
The Ant Sailor Black is a proven terrestrial dry fly designed to imitate the common black ant, an insect that trout feed on heavily during the warmer months. Black ants often find their way into rivers and lakes from overhanging trees, grassy banks, or windy ridges, and trout rarely pass up such an easy meal. The Ant Sailor pattern captures this natural food source with precision while offering excellent floatation and visibility.
Tied with a segmented black body, upright wing, and buoyant hackle, the Ant Sailor Black has a lifelike profile that sits naturally on the water. The upright wing improves tracking for anglers, while the hackle helps it stay afloat even in riffles or broken currents. Its realistic size and silhouette make it deadly during late spring through fall when terrestrials are a key part of trout diets.
Effective on freestone rivers, spring creeks, and stillwaters alike, the Ant Sailor Black can be fished alone during terrestrial activity or paired in a dry-dropper rig. When trout are selective or keyed in on small insects, this simple but effective pattern consistently delivers.
