Improved Power Ant | Northern Angler Fly Tying Tutorial

In this tutorial, Matt ties an improved version of the classic Power Ant. With just a few tweaks, you'll have a high floating ant that summertime trout love! The original Power Ant has been a favorite terrestrial pattern for years. In the low and clear flows of summer, trout are often wary and suspicious of large, loud flies like the Chubby Chernobyl. The Power Ant, with its high contrast and wiggling legs, is a great match for our flying ants. Unfortunately, it tends to sink after a few fish—something that has frustrated us for years. This improved version aims to solve that problem with the addition of a foam layer and a higher-floating bull elk wing. 📝 Get the material list & more info here: https://thenorthernangler.com/blogs/fly-tying-tutorials/improved-power-ant-fly-tying-tutorial 🎥 See more fly tying tutorials: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOcarn7q2rh1HDi1Viq3B-2mufbD8kJ6f 👉 Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeyXVrJtQtXHqLWtWfVgFEQ/?sub_confirmation=1 ———————————————————————————————————— CONNECT WITH US! 📸 Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenorthernangler 📖 Follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenorthernangler ✉️ Sign up for our email list: http://eepurl.com/gsaFYr DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A PODCAST? 🎤 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spooled/id1610158973 🎙️ Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2jlMSEAklkcW5JLkaKhNzR?si=51897a856fbd424a SUPPORT OUR CHANNEL The Northern Angler is here to help you get confident on the water and at the vise!
