Try THIS Unconventional Pattern!

This is a little wet fly-style ant that I was asked to recreate for a custom order a few weeks back. Another one I’ve never actually fished but seems interesting, so I might have to give it a try. You could tie it like this or swap out the hackle for a hen cape, smaller fibers, or just leave it and fish it as is in the ant profile. If you give it a go, I’d love to hear how it went!

Good luck fishing this fall, everyone! If you need flies for the season, you can check out my website for flies here https://www.mainely-outdoors.com/, or submit a custom order so we can get you whatever you’d like, or I can make suggestions here https://www.mainely-outdoors.com/cust...

Best,
