Tying up some Amy's Ants for an upcoming wedding to match the families Kilt colors. Should dress up the wedding party and let people know they fly fish.
Amy's Ant is a Jack Dennis fly pattern that was named after his daughter. It isn't really a Ant imitation in my opinion, but can be viewed as a stonefly, hopper, or even a cicada. I personally like it because of the amount of foam used so it floats for days and can easily support a dropper.
