YFG Flies Micro Chubby Terrestrial Foam Dry Fly
The Micro Chubby from Yellowstone Fly Goods is the “Micro” version of the popular Chubby Chernobyl. This little attractor pattern features a wider gap dry fly hook for a better hook gap, and better hook ups on smaller size Chubbies. The wing color is a soft tan, which is a little more subtle, and still very visible. A good choice when the fish are tired of seeing the same old big bugs floating by.

Maria Parsons –
Fished in a slow-moving stream and caught several trout with this fly. The soft tan wing blends well with the surroundings and the wider hook gap made a big difference in hook-ups. A solid choice for small insects.
Adam Greene –
Works well in early morning when fish are less active. The subtle color helps avoid spooking them. A good alternative to larger Chubby patterns.
Rebecca Cameron –
Used it during a dry season when insects were scarce. The fly mimicked a small hopper and got noticed by fish that were otherwise not biting.
Stephen Abraham –
The hook gap is noticeably better than standard small dry flies. Easier to retrieve and less likely to get lost in the current.
