The Timber Ant – Olive is a foam-bodied terrestrial dry fly built to imitate large ants and similar ground-dwelling insects that frequently find their way into trout streams during the warmer months. With a naturally subdued olive body, rubber legs, and high-floating construction, this pattern excels in both fast-moving water and stillwater environments. Its subtle coloration offers a realistic presentation for wary fish, especially on clear days or in pressured waters.
The foam construction keeps the fly riding high on the surface, while the white sighter post provides excellent visibility. Designed for durability and buoyancy, the Timber Ant – Olive can easily support a trailing nymph in a dry-dropper setup, making it a versatile and confidence-boosting choice for all skill levels.
Best for:
- Summer and fall terrestrial activity
- Clear, slow-moving streams or alpine creeks
- Subtle presentations to picky trout
📌 Pro Tip: Use this fly during mid-day lulls when fish are holding under cover. Drift it tight to grassy edges or logs—its muted olive body is deadly when fish get selective.
