Riseley Trout Flies- Chernobyl Ant

All Riseley Trout Flies are hand tied in Tasmania to exacting specifications and a high degree of attention to detail, craftsmanship and consistency. Each Riseley Trout Fly in the range is a proven fish catcher so you can be sure they will not just appeal to the angler, but even more importantly, those picky trout. All flies are tied on quality barbless hooks using high end materials.

The Chernobyl Ant is a highly buoyant, high visibility terrestrial pattern designed to draw aggressive surface takes from trout. With its large foam profile and rubber legs, it creates a strong surface presence that trout readily key in on, particularly during warmer months when terrestrial insects are active.

This fly excels when prospecting banks, grassy margins, and riffled water, and is an outstanding choice when trout are opportunistic or feeding confidently on the surface. Its exceptional flotation also makes it an ideal dry‑dropper fly, capable of supporting a nymph underneath without compromising presentation.
