The Super Ant – Black is a high-float terrestrial dry fly designed to imitate one of the most abundant and important food sources for trout: ants. Tied with a segmented black body, this pattern replicates the classic ant silhouette while incorporating modern materials that improve buoyancy and durability. The Super Ant rides low but stays visible on the surface, making it an ideal pattern for sipping trout in clear, calm water.
Perfect for summer and early fall, this pattern excels when fished along grassy banks, undercut edges, and around overhanging vegetation—especially on warm, breezy days when ants are blown into the current. Its subtle movement and realistic profile make it irresistible to trout and panfish that are keyed in on terrestrials.
Best for:
- Summer terrestrial fishing
- Stillwater and slow-current streams
- Trout and panfish in clear, calm conditions
📌 Pro Tip: Fish the Super Ant with a long leader and light tippet for a dead-drift—this fly is most effective when it lands softly and drifts naturally through feeding lanes.
