Flying Ants in April?
Hey folks - I know summer is coming when the shop has me tying 30 dozen flying Cinnamon Ants.
That's a lot of ants.... but hey, they work and the fish love them. If a hopper is the cheeseburger in a Happy Meal then Cinnamon Ants are the french fries...... Fished as a dropper off the hopper it's a great combo for those dog days of summer. Here is the PFS version.
