The Chernobyl Ant – Green is a bold, buoyant attractor dry fly designed to imitate large terrestrials like ants, hoppers, and beetles. Built with a multi-layer foam body, rubber legs, and a high-floating profile, this pattern is equally effective as a general attractor or during peak terrestrial season. The bright green color adds visibility and contrast, making it easy to track in glare, foam lines, and broken water.
This fly is especially effective on freestone rivers, meadow streams, and high-country creeks where trout feed opportunistically. Its durable foam construction allows it to support a beadhead nymph in a dry-dropper rig, making it a top choice when covering a lot of water. Whether prospecting during summer or targeting fish tight to the bank, the Chernobyl Ant – Green delivers big strikes.
Best for:
- Terrestrial fishing in summer and early fall
- Dry-dropper rigs with heavy nymphs
- Freestone streams and fast riffles
📌 Pro Tip: Cast the Chernobyl tight to undercut banks or overhanging grass with a gentle plop—its size and surface disturbance often trigger aggressive strikes from big trout holding close to cover.
