# **How to Choose FLY FISHING FLIES – Blk/Purple Hi-Viz PARA ANT (w/ Chart. post) Size #16 (6 pcs)**
Fly fishing is an art that requires precision, patience, and the right tools. Among the most critical components of a successful fly fishing setup is the fly itself. Choosing the right fly can mean the difference between a frustrating day on the water and landing your dream catch.
Today, we’ll take an in-depth look at the **Blk/Purple Hi-Viz PARA ANT (with Chartreuse post) in size #16 (6 pcs)** from **KyleBooker**, a premium fly designed to attract trout and other freshwater species.
## **Understanding the PARA ANT Fly**
The **PARA ANT** is a highly effective terrestrial fly pattern that mimics ants—a common food source for trout, especially during late summer and early fall when ants often fall into the water. This fly is designed to float naturally on the surface, making it ideal for dry fly fishing.
### **Key Features of the Blk/Purple Hi-Viz PARA ANT**
1. **Realistic Ant Imitation** – The **black/purple body** closely resembles natural ants, triggering aggressive strikes from trout.
2. **High-Visibility Chartreuse Post** – The bright post enhances visibility for anglers, making it easier to track the fly in fast-moving water or low-light conditions.
3. **Parachute Hackle Design** – The parachute-style hackle ensures a stable float, even in choppy water, while also creating a subtle movement that entices fish.
4. **Size #16 – Perfect for Selective Fish** – This mid-size fly is large enough to attract attention but small enough to fool wary trout in clear water.
5. **Durable Construction** – Made with high-quality materials, these flies are built to last, even after multiple catches.
## **When and Where to Use the PARA ANT**
### **Best Fishing Conditions**
– **Late Summer & Early Fall** – Ants are abundant during these seasons, and trout actively feed on them.
– **Overhanging Trees & Banks** – Fish near vegetation where ants naturally fall into the water.
– **Slow to Moderate Currents** – Ideal for dry fly presentations in riffles and pools.
### **Target Species**
– **Trout (Rainbow, Brown, Brook)**
– **Panfish (Bluegill, Crappie)**
– **Smallmouth Bass**
## **How to Fish the PARA ANT Effectively**
1. **Dead-Drift Presentation** – Cast upstream and let the fly drift naturally with the current, mimicking a real ant.
2. **Twitch Technique** – Occasionally give the fly a slight twitch to imitate a struggling insect.
3. **Pair with a Dropper Rig** – Use the PARA ANT as the top fly in a dry-dropper setup with a nymph below for double the action.
