The realistic foam body of the "Steve's Cow Killer Ant" mimics giant ants that trout find irresistible on the surface.
The foam used in tying this fly is durable and buoyant, making it ideal for withstanding strikes from larger fish.
The foam legs of the fly move enticingly like ant antennae, enhanced by the addition of rubber legs for added movement.
This fly is particularly effective for fishing alone during summer months when ants are present on the water's surface, and it can also serve as a visible indicator for nymph rigs.
Crafted with high-quality materials, the custom-tied foam and marker details give the fly a lifelike appearance of a struggling ant on the water.
When ants are seen floating downriver, using the "Steve's Cow Killer Ant" can lead to explosive strikes from trout waiting below.
