Description

This is a complete tying kit with all the materials required to tie 25 flies in this Chubby Chernobyl Pink & Purple pattern. Plus, there will be plenty of left overs. So additional hooks can be added at a later date to get even more flies from these materials.

The Chubby Chernobyl is not the fly you go to match any hatch that exists in this reality. But, if big, bold and ugly is on the menu, this attractor pattern can get the job done. Loosely speaking, it is a bit of a hopper imitation. In reality, it is a lot of foam and plenty of legs. And this fly gets the fish’s attention when they are taking big terrestrials.

The colour combination, along with the movement of the legs makes the Chubby Chernobyl stand out on the water in the fish’s eye. This presents a very different snack to what they continually see float past. The high wing makes for easy sighting on the water. So, combine the high visibility and high floatation of this pattern/ It makes an ideal attractor to hang a big nymph under. It floats, really well.
