In the last of our three part terrestrial series, Kelly ties a simple thread ant that is incredibly easy to tie and also a time tested favorite. Ants are the most abundant species of insect in the world, and this pattern can be a code cracker from late spring through early fall anywhere you find trout. Don't forget to send us your favorite terrestrial pattern tied with natural materials for a chance to win the first category in our Kill the Corona Fly Tying Contest. The final date that we need to receive your fly for this category is April 20th.
