Bionic Ant 2.0 – Brown
The Bionic Ant has become the dry fly I fish most.
Spring through fall, ants are on the Trout’s menu. Whether I’m on a small stream, or floating a larger river, the Bionic Ant is buoyant enough to handle a dropper, or is incredibly effective when fished alone, tight to the bank.
Version 2.0 features a white wing for extra visibility and larger legs for an improved silhouette.
Available in three colors: black, brown, and purple. The brown version complements the standard black option and mimics natural ant behavior in freshwater environments.
Designed for small to medium sized terrestrials, the Bionic Ant 2.0 is effective in a variety of fishing conditions.

Irene Buckland –
Fished it on a cold spring morning on a small stream. The brown color blended well with the surroundings and the white wing made it stand out just enough to catch a trout. It worked well as a solo fly and with a dropper. Solid performance.
Tim Cameron –
Used it during a river float in late summer. The larger legs gave it a more realistic look and the white wing helped with visibility. Caught a few fish, though not every cast resulted in a strike. Still a reliable choice.
Ryan Sharp –
Perfect for tight-wrapping near the bank. The brown version looks natural and the improved silhouette made a difference in how it responded to the current. Would buy again.
