ChubSurface
Black or cinnamon foam ant — the smaller terrestrial that catches sulky chub on hot bright days when the beetle is too big. Drop a size and the fish that refused the beetle takes the ant.
Fish this when
Hot midsummer afternoons when chub are visible but refusing surface flies. The size drop from beetle to ant is the single most reliable trigger when fish are present but uncommitted.
