Description
Fishing with large stonefly patterns is incredibly exciting and has often tempted big trout out of hiding. Its usually the first cast, perfectly placed near a promising spot, that triggers relentless surface strikes. Its likely the size of the fly, combined with a rough landing, that grabs the fish’s attention, making them believe its a rewarding prey. Overhanging bushes, back eddies, willow roots, and submerged deadwood: even large fish will leave their safe hold to strike the supposed prey with force!
The Chernobyl Ant, though called an “ant,” is not a true ant imitation. This highly buoyant foam pattern is more like a hybrid between a dry fly (it could pass as a stonefly) and a surface streamer. The Chernobyl Ant even tricks some trout when skated on the surface, not just in streams but also in lakes and along the coast!
