Rio Flies Glo Ant Foam Dry Fly
Rio’s Glo Ant Foam Dry Fly is a favorite cutty fly for Alberta’s Eastern Slopes and is an ant that’s much more visible on the water than some of the other small dries out there. The multi-colored foam indicator top aids the angler in picking out the dark backed bug in the foam line. Designed by Vince Wilcox, owner of Wiley’s Flies in the Adirondacks, this sparkly, foamy ant also doubles as a beetle.

This fly performs well in clear water where visibility matters. The foam top makes it easy to see on the surface, especially when fishing for cutthroat trout. It’s a reliable pattern that mimics real ants and works well in the Eastern Slopes.
Adrian Nolan –
I’ve used this fly in several streams and it stands out well on the water. It’s effective for small trout and works better than some other dry flies I’ve tried. The design is thoughtful and the foam adds a natural look.
Emma Murray –
The fly is easy to tie and matches the natural insects in the area. I noticed it catching fish consistently, especially in early morning when the water is still. The sparkly foam helps it stand out without looking artificial.
