We all know the good old Chubby Chernobyl, maybe the best dual purpose fly ever known. It will catch fish and hang the gnarliest of tungsten. Enter the Dad Bod Chubby. This guy catches you fish while it lectures you about your budget and taxes. It also floats droppers, mows the lawn, and can change out an F-250 tire in about 3 minutes. You’re welcome. At the end of the day, it’s just a chubby with a few extra folds and bumps designed to float high!
