“The Stubby Ant is a combination of old and new.
Hackle legs reminiscent of a traditional fur ant combined with foam and Chubby-Chernobyl-style wings form a fly that is realistic in profile, buoyant and easy to see, too.
Tied on Umpqua’s awesome Stubby T hook, it’s a great pattern whether fished on its own or as part of a dry-dropper setup.”
