Black Ant - Trout Fly

Flying ants fall onto the water in large numbers in late summer, exciting the trout to selective feeding. This pattern was devised by Barry Kent, an expert English fly-dresser who evolved this fly while living in South Africa. A red version can be tied using reddish brown suede chenille and a yellow version using cinnamon yellow suede chenille. This is fly is useful probably only once-a-season fly when you are lucky enought to see the flying ants fall on the water. 		 

Tying Instructions for Black Ant

For the more adventurous among you we have provided tying specifications for the Black Ant. Remember at The Essential Fly we sell the Black Ant fly at just £0.30 for each Trout fly. It is certainly worth tying the Black Ant yourself to understand the pleasure of catching a fish with your own tied fly, however at the price we sell flies is is only worth tying one or two Black Ants. Spend more time fishing instead of tying flies - buy volume online at The Essential Fly for Trout Flies
