Micro Chubby Chernobyl - Black/Purple (Micro Knockout)

he Micro Chubby Chernobyl – Black/Purple, also known as “The Knockout,” is a compact foam terrestrial pattern built to deliver a punch in smaller water or low-flow conditions. With a sleek black foam body accented by vibrant purple dubbing, this pattern mimics small hoppers, stoneflies, or attractor terrestrials. Its two-tone silhouette offers exceptional visibility to both angler and fish, making it a strong option when trout are keyed in on subtle surface presentations.

Designed with a double-layer foam construction, the Micro Chubby stays buoyant even with a beadhead nymph suspended beneath it. The black and purple combination is especially deadly in the shadows of undercut banks, twilight hatches, or tannin-stained streams where visibility is limited. The rubber legs provide irresistible movement, and the elk hair wing enhances durability and flotation.

This pattern is ideal for dry-dropper setups in technical water or when targeting smaller fish that may shy away from larger Chubby Chernobyls. Cast tight to structure or drift it through foam seams and pocket water, allowing the fly to ride naturally. A light twitch or skitter across the surface can imitate a struggling terrestrial or stonefly trying to get airborne, triggering predatory strikes from trout lying in ambush.
