The Black Crystal Ant Parachute is designed to imitate winged ants that accidentally fall onto the water surface. During periods of mass ant flights, this pattern can be incredibly effective. On hot summer days, especially in July, fish often refuse almost everything else but eagerly take these small flies. For the best results, use the finest tippets.
