I find Parachute ants to perform vastly better on my waters vs center-hackled ants, despite the added difficulty to tie. My personal favorite, is a Black dubbed ant, with a red-floss in the center (like a Royal Coachmen), and an Orange poly parachute post with Grizzly hackle. I tie the red in the center to match the forest ants I have here locally. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o162/Rayfound/357e3b68.jpg Really??
