Nik's Chubby Beetle

Nik's Chubby Beetle - from Barbless Flies A proper foam beetle, built the Chubby way. "Chubby" style flies have been floating stoneflies, hoppers and terrestrials on American rivers since the early 2000s - thick foam bodies that shrug off fish after fish and never sit low in the water. Designed by Niklas Dahlin, the Swedish fly designer behind our Nattsländan pattern, Nik's Chubby Beetle brings that same buoyant, durable build to a beetle that earns its place on UK Rivers and Stillwaters - not just as an attractor, but as something that actually looks like what's falling out of the trees. Tied on the barbless AHREX FW503, size 16 - a fine-wire, light dry fly hook. It's a deliberately light hook under a heavily buoyant fly. The result is a fly that sits high, lands soft, and stays afloat cast after cast. Available in three colours - Black, Brown, Olive Choose your colour, then your quantity - individual fly, pack of 3, or pack of 6.
