Ryan's Fire Ant

Ryan Gabert ties one of his favorite summer time patterns. Trout seldom pass up the chance to eat an ant. Ryan started tying his Fire Ant last summer and had great success. As temperatures start to warm, trout will start to key on terrestrials. Ant fly patterns are so effective that they deserve ample room in your fly box. Materials:

• Hook: Daiichi 1273 size 16-18
• Thread: Ultra Thread 70
• Abdomen: Red Fine and Dry Dubbing
• Wing: Blood Red CDC
• Hackle: Brown Hackle
