Beaded Red Ant Nymph

Gapen Beaded Red Ant Nymph - Bead Head Ant Fly

The Gapen Beaded Red Ant Nymph is a bead-head ant imitation built for trout and panfish. The bead gets the fly down quickly in current, while the red ant profile gives fish a familiar terrestrial target when ants are on the water or washed into feeding lanes.

Dead-drift it through riffles and seams, fish it under an indicator, or drop it beneath a dry fly after windy days and ant falls.
