Chubby Chernobyl Fly Tying Video Now Available

Here we go again, a new video is up as I continue to get a little more regular with the fly tying content. Stay tuned, as we have even bigger and better things planned for the YouTube channel in 2023. But for now, have fun watching the Chubby Chernobyl video that is now available.

The Chubby Chernobyl is a fun fly to tie and a fun fly to fish. The mutated cousin of the Chernobyl Ant, this is a high floating, high visibility, high impact fly that resembles absolutely nothing natural, but still gets the eat. It can be used when just about any terrestrial activity is happening, as well as stonefly hatches. So, you covered for hoppers, cicadas, crickets and salmonflies if you just marry up the colour scheme. Pink, purple and yellow, of course, is use to match the Australian Eastern Hopper migration in later January where the Chubby is an almost dead ringer for nothing that hits the water, but it works.

The video can be found at the following link : https://youtu.be/Z8Jw-aI6iTs
