Opinions on ant patterns?

[Renegade J]

Do ant patterns produce? At any time of year? Thinking of putting a few in my box.

Grayling are pretty cooperative anyways but they do particularly like black ants

ants have worked pretty well for me on Stauffer over the years if nothing was hatching.

Cinnamon ant with rubber legs saved me quite a few times. Umpqua sells it with barbless hook.

Ants and spiders and beetle like patterns, have got fish for me when I couldn't seem to figure out anything in particular to try, they do work, amazingly well sometimes. Flying ant "hatch" , can be very interesting and productive when they are getting blown off shore. Spider type patterns seem to work when it's windy also.

Thanks guys, that's the info I was hoping to get. One more question; what is a Chernobyl ant supposed to imitate?

Depending on size and colour, usually a stonefly or grasshopper. But smaller ones could pass for ant or beetle. All and all a great attractor fly.

Ants were working at police outpost last Sunday.

Caught my personal best cutty on an orange and black ant pattern I tie. 23" if memory serves me correctly. Tied on a size 14 hook with the hackle clipped off on the bottom so it rides lower in the film. Deadly stuff!

This pattern works.
