Big and bold, the Umpqua Chubby Chernobyl in Purple, Size 8, is your go-to dry fly when you need maximum visibility and buoyancy in fast-moving or deep water. This larger size is perfect for mimicking big stoneflies, hoppers, and other terrestrial insects that trout key in on during warmer months. The vivid purple foam body provides a unique silhouette that can trigger strikes when fish grow weary of more common colors. Oversized rubber legs and a high-floating profile allow this fly to ride the surface with confidence, even after multiple eats. Whether you're prospecting runs or using it as a top fly in a dry-dropper rig, the size 8 Chubby is built for performance and durability in the most demanding freshwater environments.
