Here is my flying ant pattern. It has been kicking ass lately on some of Pa limestone streams.

Hook- Daiichi 1180 #12-18​

Thread- Black Uni 8/0​

Body balls- Black superfine dry fly dub​

Wing- Midge crystal flash​

Mid section- Black holographic tinsel​

Post- Hi-vis poly yarn chartreuse, yellow, orange and red are all pretty easy to spot
​

Hackle- Brown saddle hackle.

Great vid!

I need to do this.

Trying to follow a size 22 cinnamon ant down the SWIFT is a fucking chore.
