Chernobyls-Tie'em Up!


Chernobyls, ...easy to tie and they catch fish! Yesterday, I topped up me chernobyl supply! Foam flies float great and the trout love them, so do goldeye on the Red Deer River. Karen and I use chernobyls a lot, especially in the backcountry in the National Parks. I am quite sure chernobyls are all we have used in the backcountry in the National Parks the last several trips. The backcountry brookies and cutthroat love these foam flies. What is even better is when a trout come up from 10 feet deep to engulf a chernobyl!

Spring is also a great time to get your fitness up! Walking helps make you days on the water better! If you like to hike, build up your endurance! It is well worth it!


The Orange Crush is my "go to," although a black/brown and yellow/tan chernobyl are always in my fly box! Also notice that I add a wing of willow web or polypropylene. That wing helps me see my fly out on lakes.
