Wool Wing Micro Chubby

Tied by Cheech · July 2026

If you are looking for a high-floating, ultra-durable alternative to the classic Chubby Chernobyl, you have to try this variation featuring a natural wool wing. By pre-treating the wool with floatant, this pattern rides high all day long without needing reapplication—making it the ultimate dry fly for suspending heavy dropper rigs. It is a simple tie that will completely change how you fish foam hoppers and attractors this season.
