The Foam Flying Ant is a high-floating, super-buggy terrestrial pattern built to match the hatch when flying ants swarm and hit the water in summer. Made with durable foam for maximum buoyancy and outfitted with flashy, iridescent wings, this pattern draws aggressive surface strikes from trout, bass, and panfish alike. Its segmented black-and-brown body closely imitates the real thing, while the foam ensures it stays afloat through riffles and choppy currents.
This pattern shines during ant falls—those warm, wind-blown afternoons when winged ants become an unexpected buffet for surface-feeding fish. The Foam Flying Ant is ideal for calm pools, cut banks, and under tree branches where real ants often land. The added flash and buoyancy make it easy to spot and deadly when fish are looking up.
Best for:
- Summer swarms of flying ants
- Lakes, spring creeks, and slower-moving rivers
- Prospecting during warm, wind-driven terrestrial events
📌 Pro Tip: Cast close to banks and shade lines where real ants drop in from trees. A light twitch can trigger strikes from trout waiting for a helpless meal.
