Tying a Mini Chubby Chernobyl

Two Minute Ties... Fly Tying Videos around two minutes or less...
This is a video on how to tie a Mini Chubby Chernobyl. I use the Mini Chubby Chernobyl a lot when guiding on the freestone rivers of Northwest Montana. Typically I use the Mini Chubby Chernobyl in August. Typically by this time of year the fish have seen lots of Chubbys and are a bit turned off by them. I'll downsize to the Mini Chubby and start to get good eats again. I'll fish this fly two different ways...
1- As the lead fly on a two dry fly rig. I'll tie a mayfly, beetle or ant off the bend of the hook. The Mini Chubby is visible and makes it easier to see eats on the smaller back fly.
2- As the top bug on a nymph dropper rig. The Mini Chubby Chernobyl has enough buoyancy to it to float a medium-size mayfly nymph below it.
