The Mosier’s Ant – Brown is a classic, high-floating terrestrial fly crafted from elk hair and acetate thread to mimic the appearance and buoyancy of a natural ant. This pattern features a hollow body construction that helps it ride high on the water, even in light riffles and pocket water. The natural brown color closely resembles real ants found along riverbanks during the summer and early fall, making it a deadly option when trout are feeding opportunistically on terrestrial insects.
Unlike foam-bodied ants, Mosier’s Ant offers a more traditional profile with subtle movement and a delicate presentation. The elk hair wing adds visibility while contributing to its buoyancy and overall lifelike appearance. This pattern excels in freestone streams, spring creeks, and anywhere ants are likely to end up in the drift.
Best for:
- Fishing pocket water, eddies, and banks
- Summer terrestrial season
- Subtle dry fly presentations
📌 Pro Tip: Before fishing, give Mosier’s Ant a light coat of floatant and focus your casts near grassy banks, overhanging branches, and undercut edges—especially on breezy afternoons when real ants are most likely to fall into the water.
