Chubby Chernobyl - Yellow

Chubby Chernobyl – Yellow

The Yellow 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 yellow foam body is one of the most effective hopper and golden stonefly colors on the water — bright enough to track through broken current, natural enough to fool trout that are keyed in on large terrestrials and stoneflies. 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.

When trout are looking up and you need a fly they can find — the Yellow Chubby Chernobyl floats high, shows well, and triggers aggressive surface strikes all summer long.
