last year I was out hunting cutts and it got really windy the pmd action stopped so I tried these little bugs out and landed quite a few throats during the high winds ... I have not used a lot of terrestrials but I'm gonna start using them more .... especially when the wind picks up.

Small foam ant patterns are great. Me personally, i like the big foamy stuff hence the name :)hoppers, skid bitches etc...

When the going gets tough, and you're dealing with a picky fish, it's always worth tying on an ant pattern. This is especially true in the fall, when a most of the aquatic bugs are done. Terry

A black ant #18-12. I tie dubbed ones and a foam one. Foam one tied on #14 &12's. I use red thread on the dubbed ants and put two or three turns of brown hackle between the abdomen and thorax. The foam ant is tied McMurray ant style:

I had a similar experience last year. PMDs weren't working so I tied on an ant as an emerger. Cutties killed that thing, it was great.
