A sinking ant pattern can also help when going deeper, especially if you are in calm waters and don't want to be chucking split shot around. Of course, with sunken ant patterns, it is possible that the fish are taking the fly for something <i>other</i> than an ant, but if they'll take it, I'll toss it!

What I mean is do you fish them just subsurface o do you really let it to sink? Regards, Simon Hi Jason, when you fish a sinking patern do you fish it like nymph really? or like a wet using a death drift?
