Normand,

Very nice looking ant pattern. I like the use of the beads to form the body much better than thread. Have you tied any floating patterns using Gorilla glue? They're also very simple to tie, are easily colored with permanent markers and float well. They're a good pattern for me around overhanging brush. You can see the YouTube demo here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRp7I1Ll5Rs

Thanks for sharing the bead-body ant pattern. I think I'll tie some up this morning.

Cool post, both of you. Thanks. I love fishing terrestrials and such as they produce well and I'm always looking for another pattern!

I love the dry patterns, obviously but the wets produce very well too.

Jeremy.
