James, how and when do you fish with an ant?
I have had very little success using an ant or beetle pattern. Do you tie an ant with some white on top,[u] so that you can see it? The few times that I have caught a trout on an ant, I was using it as a dropper behind a Wulff or other attractor. That is the only way that I can see an ant on the water. Also how big should the ant be? On the Green, I hear of great success using a Chernoble ant. Sounds big to me!
