Excellent imitations of a black flying ant!

Last weekend there were lots of flying ants, with just some fish rising to them. They weren't black, they were sepia brown with dirty beige mottled undersides, wood ants. Never seen a black one. Had 7 rises to a brown shipmans with 4 connections that came off!
