About the Termite Trout Fly

I use this fly when the ants are on the wing. At the start of a rise, the rainbow appear to splash at the fallen ant. It took me some time to work out why I was missing the fish. In fact, what was happening was that the trout were drowning the ant, and then taking them at their leisure, as they often do with minnows. The longer they fed, the fuller the stomach, they would then start to feed off the surface, and were easily hooked.
