This is a little wet fly-style ant that I was asked to recreate for a custom order a few weeks back. Another one I’ve never actually fished but seems interesting, so I might have to give it a try. You could tie it like this or swap out the hackle for a hen cape, smaller fibers, or just leave it and fish it as is in the ant profile. If you give it a go, I’d love to hear how it went! Good luck fishing this fall, everyone! If you need flies for the season, you can check out my website for flies here www.mainely-outdoors.com/, or submit a custom order so we can get you whatever you’d like, or I can make suggestions here www.mainely-outdoors.com/cust...

I tied one with heavy white sewing thread and then coated it chartreuse nail polish followed by Hard As Nails. I used a brown hackle for the legs. It was a killer on panfish when the water was low and the bite tough.

Loooove this nymph, tied 2 dozen 14's years ago and still run em today. Thanks for the non-conventionals!

Very nice, says a lot for the durability of this pattern! The hackle could come off and it would still be usable

I could see that with a purple too. Maybe a blue. The color variations you could make with this pattern are endless. White and red... man im gonna keep going in my head.
