The Red Ant is a classic terrestrial dry fly pattern that imitates one of trout's favorite summertime snacks. With its slender, segmented body and realistic silhouette, this fly effectively mimics natural red ants that often end up in rivers and lakes during warm, sunny days. Whether it’s a flying ant or a worker ant washed into the current, this pattern triggers instinctive surface strikes—especially in calm water where fish have time to inspect their food.

The Red Ant excels in both stillwater and slow-moving streams, particularly during summer afternoons when ant activity is high. It’s a smart choice when trout are sipping small terrestrials or when hatches are sparse and you need to match available natural prey.

Best for:

Summer dry fly fishing
Stillwater and slow-flowing rivers
Clear water and selective trout

📌 Pro Tip: Use a long leader and fine tippet when fishing the Red Ant on glassy water—its subtle presentation and realistic drift are key to fooling wary fish.
