The Chernobyl Ant is a well know terrestrial fly that is easy to tie, rides high in the water and works great for coldwater as well as warmwater species. This one is tied on a 4X long streamer hook but you can tie it on a 2X all the way up to a 5X long hook for whatever you fishing situation needs. Popular colors are all Black, Black over White, Brown over Yellow, Chartreuse over White and all Yellow. There are lots over different "versions" of the Chernobyl Ant, this is a simple version that I like to tie. - - Enjoy
