The Extra Chunky Chubby Chernobyl Fly Pattern Tutorial

The Extra Chunky Chubby Chernobyl utilizing some loco foam to make you not only the one on the river with the baddest box on the river, but also to match your Air Jordan 1 “OG black/red” with coordinating Bulls Jersey.
The extra chunkyness added to this fly makes it float longer and higher. You could use a tungsten jigged leech or bugger as the dropper for this bad boy.
I tied this up more of the traditional way that Chubby Chernobyls are tied. Starting at the hook eye and ribbing foam down the shank of the hook and then dubbing the body as you work your way back up to the eye. I still prefer the other method ( • The Chubby Chernobyl F... ), but I also made this one a little bit difficult with the super stiff foam and the deer belly hair wing. This isn't a color I would typically fish, but wanted to integrate the Loco Foam for fun and make it look intimidating to the fish.
Tie some up in the color schemes that you traditionally would fish and see how it just simply floats.

Do you think deer hair floats any better or worse than some of the typical synthetic parachute materials like EP fibers?

[@Svenddiesel]

Mark Devey the deer hair is a new style for me I haven’t fished yet. I like how the EP fibers fan out when wet and give a awesome profile. We will have to see how these fish. Whether they are more buoyant or not I don’t know. I would assume the deer hair is more buoyant due to the hollow core and not being a synthetic material
