Big foam ants or terrestrial patterns are something that has been used in the US and other forgiven shores to great effect. Not so popular in the UK we are much more conservative with our ant patterns!
I was shown this by Ben Worley of Upavon Fly Fishing upavonflyfishing.co.uk the man behind the Bionic foam blocks. He has reported that it has been deadly down on the Wiltshire Avon. This is a river I spend a lot of time on so I have whittled these up from #16 up to #10. I am sure they are going to do a turn.
