Cinnamon Flying Ant

$1.89

Flying ant fly fishing is a time-tested summer tactic that capitalizes on the mass emergence of winged ants drifting across water. Fish take advantage of this sudden, calorie-rich food source; present realistic ant imitations—tied with buoyant bodies and subtle antennae—on a floating line and fish surface or just below it. Key points: fish during and just after warm-weather ant swarms, use natural colors (black, brown, or tan), size-match to local ant species, and employ gentle mends and short, twitching strips to mimic struggling ants. Effective on lakes, ponds, and slow rivers, flying ant patterns produce exciting surface strikes and are an easy, high-payoff option for summer fly anglers.
