Just curious as they look fun to tie as well as fish.
Anyone fishing chernobyl ants or hoppers in still waters?

Well now......
They ARE fun to both tie, and fish. I must admit I've never used them in stillwaters....but in flowing waters they can be (at times) the Cat's $$$"
I tie them in black; light tan under dark tan/light brown; salmonfly orange; etc. Very versatile fly.

If you know there are fishes cruising the shorelines - or even anywhere near the surface - try dropping them gently in front of moving targets on flat days or giving them a good hard "splat" on breezy days.
Fish responsibly. Get all your steelhead Speyed.

They were the goto fly in Patagonia on the lakes and lagoons (similar to what we might call a dead water) that we fished along with adult dragon and damsel fly patterns. The fish in the lakes and lagoons were always looking up because the waters were basically void of any other prey like bait fish. Around any log or branch a close cast would usually produce a rise from a fish. Along the reeds big adult dragon fly patterns worked best.
