Micro Chubby Chernobyl — The Ultimate NZ Summer Dry Fly
A scaled-down take on the legendary Chubby Chernobyl, the Micro Chubby is tied on a standard shank size 10 hook with an overall length of just 25mm — perfectly proportioned for more delicate presentations where the full-size Chubby is simply too much fly.
Designed as a versatile general terrestrial pattern, the Micro Chubby excels in the classic dry dropper (hopper dropper / duo) rig, riding high and proud while suspending a nymph below. Its buoyant foam body and high-visibility profile make it easy to track in fast water and broken riffles.
Why Kiwi Anglers Love It
- Floats all day — foam construction keeps it riding high through heavy water
- Highly visible — easy to track in glare and broken riffles
- Deadly in summer — matches the smaller cicada species and grasshoppers that blanket NZ riverside vegetation over the warm months
- Perfect hopper dropper anchor — stable enough to suspend a heavy nymph without dragging under
- Backcountry proven — ideal for the clear, technical water of NZ's remote river systems
Pattern Details
- Hook: Standard shank, size 10
- Overall length: 25mm
- Available colours: Black, Tan (Olive coming soon)
Whether you're prospecting a backcountry run or matching a cicada hatch on a summer afternoon, the Micro Chubby Chernobyl is a fly you'll reach for again and again.
