skeet3t 0 Report post Posted February 21 "using a button for a head" Great idea! Thinking of a carp fly with a small button head. Stand by to be amazed. BTW, isn't there a Dahlburg Diver that uses a slanted head to dive like a crankbait? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted Monday at 08:24 PM Great post. I tie a few different ant patterns, but rarely seem to use them. Guess I'll make a point of doing so a little more frequently this summer. Here are the two main styles I stick with: Paracute Dry UV Resin Sunken Ant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The parachute is a #18, though I tie them on a #16 and #20 as well. Admittedly haven't caught much beyond bluegill on them. Possibly a few brook trout on the parachute over the years in memory serves, but I just don't seem to use them all that frequently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron 0 Report post Posted Wednesday at 03:28 AM I really only fish underwater stump fields for Gills and they work well, off and on. I had 2 or three nice strikes in Flaming gorge, Green River last year on cinnamon ants. I find Ants handy but I only just began tying them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
