Keith Payne –
Used this fly on a warm afternoon on a slow-moving stream. The red color stood out well, and the ant imitation worked perfectly. Trout took it immediately, even in low visibility. A solid choice for summer fishing.
Carl Nolan –
Fished it near a rocky shore with some cover. The fly looked natural and stayed on the surface well. Got a few strikes, though not every cast was successful. Good value for the pattern.
Steven James –
This is one of my go-to flies for midday fishing. The fire red color catches the light just right, and the way it mimics a trapped ant makes it irresistible to trout.
