Sunk Ant

When Trout Can't Resist What's Below

Ants fall. They sink. Trout know it. The Sunk Ant drifts subsurface, imitating the waterlogged naturals that tumble through the water column during ant falls and warm-weather events. Fished below the film where selective fish are feeding, it's a pattern that earns strikes when surface flies get ignored.

• Tied on a Firehole 633 barbless hook for easy release and catch-and-release compliance
• Subsurface presentation imitates a fully sunk, drowned ant
• Slim, realistic silhouette for selective feeders
• Effective during ant falls, late summer, and calm flat-water conditions
• Fishes well as a dropper beneath a dry or on a tight-line nymphing rig

Tie it on when the rises stop but the fish are still feeding. The Sunk Ant gets down to where they are.
