CDC Flying Ant never thought of doubling the foam. Will have to do this on a few. Rick

I am like the fish and did not know they would be on the razor pile. Rick

Ants from shelf liner material with a parachute hackle. Black and tan have the sides trimmed some. Parachute hackle works better for me on the ponds I fish.
