Break out the bug spray - this one is dead-on for the look of the naturals. The sparse, foam body on this ant pattern will keep it floating right in the surface film and is sure to please tough fish. Since the Black Foam Ant is difficult to see on the water, try fishing an easy-to-see dry fly in front and tying the Black Foam Ant on as a dropper so that you can present the fly and see strikes better. Another deadly trick, put a little split shot on the leader and fish it as a drowned ant near the bottom. What trout can resist this pattern floating right through its living room?! Size 14 pictured.
