Chubby Chernobyl, Elevated

How to turn a strike indicator into a fly you can be proud of with master fly tier Charlie Craven. Great imitation for grasshoppers, large stoneflies and as the dry for a dry/dropper rig.

Great instruction as always. Thanks.

You are amazing, Amazin Cravin.

Great job Charlie!

[@silviomaugeri1301]

You're a master. Thanks Charlie

Great variation. I love these things. Let's remember a fish does not expect these things to be perfect so do not worry about perfection. I have had mine so beat up and still caught fish all day long. Give them a try.

Way to go Charlie. Your creative thinking is as impressive as your other world tying talent!

Nice! I might have to whip up some stubby chubbies for eastern brookies.

Good honest fly fishermen! I've been known to toss a few flies into the bushes also. Great looking fly.
