The Royal Chubby Chernobyl is a modern twist on a classic attractor pattern, combining the legendary Royal Coachman coloration with the buoyant, high-floating foam body of a Chernobyl Ant. Designed for visibility, flotation, and versatility, this fly is a must-have for western rivers, summer hopper-dropper rigs, and fast-moving freestone streams.
The signature red and peacock body gives it a flashy, eye-catching profile, while the stacked foam construction ensures it stays high and dry—even in turbulent water. White rubber legs and hi-vis wing posts make it easy to track on rough water and in low light. The Royal Chubby excels as a hopper, stonefly, or general attractor dry, and it’s also an ideal top fly for suspending heavy nymphs below.
Fish the Royal Chubby Chernobyl as a single dry fly or pair it with a beadhead dropper in pocket water, riffles, and bankside seams. Its buoyancy and durability make it a guide favorite for long days on the water when fish are willing to look up.
