Sometimes a big, bushy dry fly is exactly what you need! The Chubby Chernobyl is just that. These things are a staple on the larger rivers out west like the Yellowstone and the Madison but we have been using them around here as well for both trout and bass. Killer smallmouth bug too.

These are also perfect for hanging a nymph underneath for a “hopper/dropper” rig. Also the go-to fly for the nocturnal stoneflies which happen during late July and August.
