Overview

The Bionic Ant in black is a smartly engineered terrestrial pattern developed by Signature Tyer Lance Egan. Designed to perfectly imitate the silhouette and behavior of a real ant, this fly offers a high-floating foam body and a lifelike profile that consistently draws strikes from trout across a wide range of water types. Its subtle surface disturbance and realistic proportions make it a deadly choice during peak terrestrial season, especially when fish are focused on ants falling from bankside vegetation.

The Bionic Ant is ideal for dry-dropper setups or as a standalone dry fly, thanks to its reliable buoyancy and ability to stay visible during long drifts. From freestone rivers to spring creeks, this pattern is a proven producer, particularly in the late spring through early fall window when terrestrials are a primary food source. If you're fishing clear water or targeting selective trout, this pattern delivers the realism and performance needed to close the deal.
