The Mosier’s Ant – Red/Black is a high-riding terrestrial dry fly that combines a bold two-tone segmented body with a buoyant elk hair wing. Tied with acetate thread to create a hollow, durable form, this pattern mimics a red and black ant—a natural variant that trout often key in on during late spring through early fall.
The contrasting red and black body enhances visibility in riffles, pocket water, and shaded banks while still maintaining a realistic silhouette that fools selective trout. This pattern is especially productive on small streams and creeks where terrestrials are a major food source. The elk hair adds extra floatation, helping the fly ride high even in slightly choppy currents.
Best for:
- Warm-weather terrestrial fishing
- Prospecting in riffles, seams, and along grassy banks
- Fishing clear creeks and pocket water
📌 Pro Tip: Try using this fly on a short leader and 5X tippet for accurate presentations in tight quarters. The two-tone color is a great choice when fish have seen too many standard black or cinnamon ants.
