2001 - Willy’s Red Ant

Darlene Koncak used this Chernobyl variation to become the first women to win the One Fly. This low riding dry fly was designed by Moose, Wyoming fly tier, Will Dornan. Tied with a bright red dubbed body, the distinctive white antron wing high-lights the fly and makes it very visible. A black foam body helps the Gladys float well and brings large cutthroat to the net. A simple effective pattern, the Gladys has been a favorite among the guides of Jackson Hole over the past few years. Most anglers find that moving the fly with controlled jerks will bring larger fish and definitely will bring more action.
