Chubby Chernobyl

The Chubby Chernobyl has earned its place as one of the most trusted large dry flies ever created. Originally developed as an evolution of the classic Chernobyl Ant, this highly buoyant foam pattern became a Western fly fishing staple by convincingly imitating large stoneflies, hoppers, and other terrestrials while doubling as an outstanding attractor pattern. Its exceptional flotation and high visibility make it equally effective fished alone or supporting a heavy nymph in a dry-dropper rig. 

Every Fly from HatchLab FlyWorks is tied using carefully selected premium materials and individually inspected for Consistency, Durability, and Performance on the water.

Lab Crafted. River Tested.
