From Kelly Galloup:
“The Ant Acid has become a go-to terrestrial pattern for anglers across the country. As a searching pattern I am not sure there is anything better, and as an ant imitation, I am certain of it. This is also one of the most popular dry flies I have ever developed– The triple segmented, two-tone body gives a perfect ant silhouette, the short deer hair wing makes sure the fly rides perfectly in the film, and the small rubber legs give it that little extra kick. I fish the ant acid anywhere in the world with confidence.” – Kelly
