Foam Ant #16

Foam Ant #16 by Montana Fly Company is a proven dry fly pattern designed to imitate one of trout’s most reliable warm-weather meals: the ant. Built with a buoyant black foam body and visible hackle, this fly rides high, stays afloat longer, and offers a realistic silhouette that draws confident surface strikes.

Perfect for picky trout on rivers, creeks, and stillwater, the #16 size is a versatile choice when fish are keyed in on small terrestrials. The lightweight foam construction helps keep the fly fishing effectively through repeated drifts, making it a smart addition to any fly box.

Why anglers love it:

• Realistic ant profile for natural presentation
• Foam body for excellent floatation
• High-visibility hackle helps track the fly on the water
• Versatile #16 size for selective trout and technical conditions
• Crafted by Montana Fly Company, trusted by serious anglers

When trout are ignoring bigger bugs, a well-presented ant pattern can make all the difference. Add the Foam Ant #16 to your setup and be ready for those subtle, rewarding topwater eats.
