"I fished the Wood River Tuesday, and found the trout to be very cooperative when presented an imitation of the terrestrial kind," writes Ed Lombardo. "This is the time of the year when trout start keying in on such insects as ants, flying ants, bees, wasps, inchworms, and beetles. Trout took my wasp pattern very aggressively. It's a size #12 hook, green rabbit fur body, loose cell foam tied in as a shellback, and two to three turns of a brown furnace hackle just behind the head of the fly. Trout also liked my sparkle ant pattern in sizes #16 and # 14. Most of the trout took ants and wasps and one fish took a Gray Soft Hackle Dry fly. I did see some blue-winged olives and a few yellow mayflies later in the afternoon and evening."
