Stone Creek Chernobyl Ant - Black

Stone Creek™ Chernobyl Ant

The Stone Creek™ Chernobyl Ant is one of the most effective and widely used terrestrial attractor patterns in modern fly fishing. Designed with a durable foam body and a highly visible white post, this fly delivers exceptional flotation and visibility, making it easy to track in fast currents, rough water, and low-light conditions.

Known for triggering explosive surface strikes, the Chernobyl Ant excels when trout are feeding on larger terrestrials such as ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and stoneflies. Its buoyant design also makes it an outstanding dry-dropper indicator fly, capable of supporting weighted nymphs while remaining highly visible on the surface.

Available in Black and Red, this proven pattern is a favorite throughout the western United States and is especially productive along grassy banks, undercut edges, foam lines, and shoreline structure where terrestrial insects frequently enter the water.
