2001 One Fly Event Winning Fly
Willy's Red Ant, aka Gladys
Darlene Koncak used this Chernobyl variation to become the first women
ever to win the One Fly. This low riding dry fly bug was designed by
Moose, Wyoming fly tier Will Dornan. While tied with a bright red dubbed
body, the distinctive white antron wing highlights this fly and makes it
very visible to the angler. A black foam body helps the Gladys float
well and brings large cutthroat to the net. A simple effective pattern,
the Gladys 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.
