Here's a pattern that can have you dreaming of summer time and big dry flies along the banks! The Chubby Chernobyl is as big and bright as any fly out there. I haven't fished this particular fly, but have fished many like it over the years. I tied some up to try out this summer, which will be here before we know it. I am not complaining, just trying to be prepared! For those of you who have fished this pattern and have had success, leave a comment about this fly. I am sure there will be a few.
Thats righteous Juan!!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a real big trout guy... but it has been killer for LM an SM Bass here in MI!
ReplyDeleteI've fished with a similar looking fly with great success. This looks killer.
ReplyDeleteI love that fly! Wrote a little blog post about it here:

Yep, this is pretty easy to tie.
ReplyDeleteAre you guys ready to get out in warmer weather and throw bigger bugs? I am!
Great pocket water fly. Can suspend one or two droppers. Durable. Catches plenty of fish also!
ReplyDeleteBring on summer.
I got this in a swap last week and is a great fly!
ReplyDeleteTrout in NM love this fly. San Juan,Jemez,Tingley Beach.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever credit designers of flies, or simply editorialize? Thanks for your magnificent insight on a common trout fly.
ReplyDeleteI try to credit those patterns that I know who designed them. In this case I don't know of the designer of this particular pattern, just that it is a variation of another pattern.
