Chubby Chernobyl Fly Black 16

The Chubby Chernobyl in Black, size 16, delivers big-fly performance in a compact package-perfect for matching smaller stoneflies, crickets, or ants while still providing the flotation and strength the Chubby is known for. The all-black colorway offers a strong silhouette that excels in a wide range of light conditions, particularly in fast or choppy water where visibility matters. Built with the same durable dual-layer foam body and high-floating poly-yarn wing as its larger counterparts, this version handles both solo dry fly duty and dry-dropper setups with ease. The size 16 is ideal for late summer terrestrial fishing, early stonefly hatches, or technical riffles where fish want movement without bulk. Rubber legs kick and flutter on every drift, mimicking life and triggering reaction strikes. Whether you're prospecting a pocket water seam or trailing a tungsten nymph beneath it, the Chubby in this size is a stealthy surface solution with major staying power.
