Chernobyl Ant – Parachute

Stone Creek™ Chernobyl Ant – Parachute

The Stone Creek™ Chernobyl Ant – Parachute is a highly visible variation of one of the most productive terrestrial attractor patterns ever created. Combining a buoyant foam body, elk hair wings, and a highly visible poly parachute post, this fly offers exceptional flotation, balance, and visibility in a wide range of fishing conditions.

Designed to ride high on the water, the Parachute Chernobyl Ant is a favorite for fishing banks, grassy edges, undercut structure, and fast-moving currents where trout are looking for larger food sources. Its versatile profile allows it to imitate ants, beetles, grasshoppers, stoneflies, and other terrestrial insects that frequently fall into the water.

The highly visible parachute post also makes this pattern an outstanding dry-dropper indicator fly, allowing anglers to suspend nymphs beneath it while easily tracking strikes.

A longtime favorite throughout the western United States, the Chernobyl Ant – Parachute consistently triggers aggressive surface strikes from trout and other gamefish.
