The Bionic Ant in black, size 12, is a versatile and effective terrestrial pattern that matches the common ant sizes found near the water's edge. Built with a high-floating foam body and designed by Lance Egan, this fly performs well in everything from pocket water to gentle slicks. Its realistic size and profile make it a natural choice when trout are focused on terrestrials, and it's particularly effective during midsummer ant hatches. Despite its simplicity, the fly's subtle movement and silhouette make it a favorite among anglers who want reliable performance with minimal fuss. The foam construction keeps it on the surface, while its smaller footprint still draws big fish. Whether fished solo or as the top fly in a dry-dropper setup, this pattern consistently produces throughout the warmer months.
