Flying Ant - Balkan style

[jindra]

I really like the epoxy butt ant patterns coming from the Balkans, though it took me a long time before I felt strong enough to try one on my own.
Any comments are most welcome

I would not say you have ants with style; rather you have fly tiers with style. Fly tiers in other parts of the world are just not crazy enough to play with a tiny drop of epoxy on a size twenty plus (this is TMC 103 #21) size hook

Cheers!

You dont need epoxy,it can be tricky to put on that small size hooks....varnish can do.....

Thanks urbanflyman
But this Jindras ant is very good for grayling,on small hooks,18 or smaller,real true killer
