Product Details

A high-floating hopper/stonefly attractor for rough water and summer banks. The Chubby Chernobyl in Olive/Tan uses a buoyant double-foam body, hi-vis wing, and lively rubber legs to throw a bold silhouette that stays ride-high in riffles and foam lines—perfect for dry-dropper duty. When it excels: Late spring through early fall; windy afternoons; riffles, pocket water, grassy banks, and undercuts Why it works: Double foam keeps it floating with a nymph underneath; the olive/tan combo looks natural while the wing and legs add visibility and motion Pack size: 3 flies Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook); opportunistic smallmouth along seams Ready to fish: Durable foam, clean wraps, consistent proportions; high-visibility wing for easy tracking How to fish it Dead-drift tight to structure and along seams; add subtle twitches to wake fish. Run as a dry-dropper with 16–24" of 4–5X to a small nymph or midge; shorten leaders in broken water and step down tippet in ultra-clear conditions....
