Flash Winged Ant

This foam ant fly was requested from one of my customers to tie for him. He was fishing the San Juan River and wanted quite a few of them for the ant season. Size 16 in both brown and Black. So I started tying them up for him, and realized its a pretty simple pattern but looks like it will fish very well. So here I am making a video to show you all how to tie it. Im not sure this is the original way of tying these, but its how I figured out to tie them easily and uniformly.
