Chubby Chernobyl - Tan

Chubby Chernobyl – Tan

The Tan Chubby Chernobyl is a high-visibility attractor dry fly built for fast water, pocket water, and any situation where you need a fly that floats high, lands hard, and gets noticed. The tan foam body is one of the most natural and versatile hopper and stonefly colors on the water — subtle enough to pass as a realistic imitation, visible enough to track through broken current all day long. Our Chubby rides high in the water column with excellent visibility for the angler, making it easy to follow through complex currents and detect subtle takes. The rubber legs add a lifelike, pulsing action that triggers aggressive strikes from trout keyed in on large terrestrials and stoneflies.
