Fat Angie

While the Fat Angie started as a much more realistic and singular imitation of a flying ant, it has morphed into a far more general attractor pattern that lends itself well to a variety of insect types.

Tied on a curved Klinkhammer style hook to set the butt end realistically down in the surface film and a foam body for both durability and flotation, the Fat Angie is finished off with durable super floss legs, a hot pink indicator for visibility and a multi-tonal polypropylene macramé yarn wing.

This wing is simply the most buoyant material I’ve ever used and it’s topped with a few strands of UV Blue Ripple Ice Fiber to add some sheen. We find ourselves throwing Fat Angie where I used to use a Stimulator or other attractor dry.

The Fat Angie is sold here in the olive colorway and tied on a size 14 hook.
