Hi-Vis Foam Ant

[tctrout]

In my recent video, I share a Hi-Vis Foam Ant that I like to fish in faster currents. I'm curious to hear if others have ideas about maintaining visibility with ant patterns.

Pretty much nailed it. I tie them almost exactly the same. Instead of the post style indicator I tie it back caddis wing style in pale grey or white. It serves as an indicator and looks a bit like the flying ants that seem to swarm around. You can get away with a bit more material also.

My problem is with the marshmallow head falling off. Especially after a few fish. The indicator post/wing solves the visibility problem when it does and the fly still visible and fishable.

Great video and nice fly. Thanks. I especially like the way you wrap the foam to better secure the body. Excellent tip.

Great tie, I use them all the time in brown and black.
