From North 40 Fly Shop:
“Ants are one of my favorite summer dry flies to fish. The CDC Ant is a simple, yet effective fly pattern. I often tag an ant behind a Chubby Chernobyl or a hopper pattern, giving the fish a choice in sizes. Often, shy fish will choose the smaller ant pattern. The ant is tied with light materials, giving it a delicate presentation when casting to wary trout.”
