The Chubby Chernobyl in Olive, size 12, is ideal for matching smaller terrestrial insects while still delivering the signature buoyancy and visibility of the Chubby series. This size is excellent when fish are keyed in on slightly smaller grasshoppers, crickets, or stonefly patterns, and when water conditions call for a more refined approach. The olive foam body provides a subtle, natural tone that excels in clear water and under bright skies, while still standing out enough to attract attention from below. Its rubber legs create movement that brings the pattern to life, and the poly-yarn wing ensures the fly remains easy to track throughout the drift. The size 12 offers plenty of flotation to suspend a small dropper nymph, making it a reliable option for dry-dropper rigs when finesse is key. Whether prospecting a meadow stream or fishing cutbanks, this version gets it done with subtle confidence.
