The Chubby Chernobyl in Black/Tan, size 8, brings big-fly energy to the surface game, perfect for when trout are crushing large terrestrials or during stonefly hatches. The bold size and color combination create a strong silhouette against the surface, making this fly easy to spot and easy for fish to key in on. Built with a double foam body, this version floats like a cork-even when supporting heavy tungsten nymphs in a dry-dropper rig. The rubber legs pulse on the drift, mimicking kicking hopper legs or the twitch of an oversized stonefly. This size is ideal for targeting aggressive trout in freestone rivers, undercut banks, or riffles where high visibility and high flotation are essential. When the water is fast and the fish are looking up for something big, the size 8 Chubby gets it done.
