Umpqua Attract-Ant Black/Red - #16

This neat little ant pattern is built for tricky surface feeders. The epoxy-coated body adds a subtle sheen, much like a struggling insect on the water. It also helps the fly sit that bit lower in the surface film, which often convinces selective trout and grayling when standard dry flies fail.

Size 16 is ideal for summer and early autumn when natural ants are common and fish focus on smaller food items. Fish it on fine tippet, dead-drift in slower runs, eddies, or along the bank. A good choice for clear water, pressured fish and those days when rises are gentle and short.
