Galloup's Ant Acid

A

Kelly Galloup

Galloup's foam ant, named by Current Works for the mid June through September ant season, fished dry or sunk. Ants are on Michigan charts #12 to #24 from June 15 to September 30; fish it in the film along shaded banks and after wind, and as a sunken dropper when trout refuse the floating version.
