I have always used grasshopper patterns , but never really gave ants a
thought in the summer. Does anyone have a good ant pattern, do they work
well? I think I'll tie some up.

I'd guess that an ant pattern would be better than grasshoppers as they are
naturaly are around most the summer.

How well do beetle pattern's work?

Beetles are my favorite terrestrial pattern. Ants are good but they're
difficult to see on the water because of their size.
