Fishing with large searching patterns is extremely exciting and has lured many large Trout to the surface. Often it is the first cast, placed in a promising piece of water that causes a merciless surface attack. Presumably, it is the size of the flies, coupled with a typical splash landing which attracts the attention of the fish, giving them the motivation to attack worthwhile prey. Overhanging bushes, sweeping currents, willow roots, and sunken deadwood: even large fish leave their safe holding spots to smash the surface for what they think will be a nice meal!
The Chernobyl Ant is called an "ant" but is not a real ant-imitation. This high-floating foam pattern is more of a hybrid between a dry fly (maybe a stonefly) and a surface streamer (such as a newt). The fact is: Trout love them!
