The Mosier’s Ant – Red is a highly buoyant, traditional-style terrestrial pattern that combines a hollow acetate thread body with a durable elk hair wing. This classic dry fly is designed to imitate red-bodied ants, which are common sights along many streams and creeks during the warmer months. The segmented profile and bold color make it a standout when trout are keying in on terrestrials.
The red version offers added visibility for both angler and fish, making it especially effective in broken water and shaded banks. Unlike foam patterns, this fly maintains a natural silhouette and drift, ideal for picky trout in technical situations. Whether you're prospecting small mountain creeks or targeting risers along undercut banks, the Mosier’s Ant – Red delivers dependable performance.
Best for:
- Terrestrial fishing in summer and early fall
- Casting near overhanging vegetation or brush-lined streams
- Clear or lightly stained waters with selective trout
📌 Pro Tip: Let the fly drift naturally, then give it a soft twitch as it nears likely holding water. The flash of red can provoke aggressive strikes, especially from fish that have seen a lot of standard black or brown ant patterns.
