About the Lunn's Red Ant Trout Fly

"They do not account for many fish in the season because ants are only flying a short time, but after a flight has crossed, which may be as early as July, do not forget to try an Ant. I consider it to be the surest take of any pattern of any insect." Major J W Hill author of 'River Keeper'
