- In this episode we teach you to tie a simple and extremely versatile Dry Fly pattern that works on both trout and bass. It's a cheap fly to tie only requiring 4 materials: Dubbing, Foam, Rubber Legs, and a synthetic fiber wing. This fly is so popular because it can imitate so many different things. From big attractor patterns to a small Mayfly, the Chubby can do it all1
Try some various combos and let us know what works best for you.

Love the pattern and the colours. Using the bodkin to make the tie in bump on the wing was a sweet trick! Adding that to the mental tying library!
Thanks! That step always jammed me up and made my wings all caddywampus till I learned that. Glad it helped!
Keep up the informative videos.
Just started tying, greatest time ever.
Thanks Jeff! We plan too keep rolling some out!
You guys almost, almost make me want to start tying my own ties.
Good stuff. Appreciate these videos.
I really like all the videos . I used to tie years ago but they looked like i tied them with my feet so now i leave it to guys like you . The fishing videos are also great the "Short Bus " stuff is gold ' I plan on placing a order after i lose a dozen or so in the trees . Keep up the great work
Great video man, keep em coming!
I like the hook gap tip and the big ep wing looks great
Love the vid!
Hi Adam Thanks so much from the UK im going to bash a few out.
Love it Adam. My brother just landed a guide job in Minnesota. He ordered a bunch of your flies to take up there because "they catch fish". I tie my own nymph patterns, I would love to see some more streamer patterns. Much love guys.
Nice!
I’ve got a dumb amount of EP laying around. I’ve always used poly yarn. You’ve changed the game for me dude
Glad that could help. EP is my favorite for wings, and just like you I always have a ton of white laying around. Floatant keeps it up for days
Loved it Adam from Pauly at Wilderness Coast on Fly in Australia 🤓👍🇦🇺
sweet video Adam, could you please tie some streamers for Wyoming trout?
Great tip with the bodkin and the ep. never thought of that!! Next time y’all are in AR, hit me up. Got an awesome smallmouth spot y’all should check out!
The word of the video is "purple hue". 😂
You can get ep fibers with flash already in it also my favorite chubby color here in western Montana is black foam with purple and black mixed dubbing
Awesome video,the Chubby is my go to fly for hopper/dropper or just by itself,1 thing could you not wear a white shirt hard for my old eyes to see the tying process lol 😆, tight lines & bent rods 🤙🤟
Can you give a material list
Great video. Were you using the standard jaws or midge jaws on your vise? If using the Midge jaws - how do you like the MJ's?
Thank you.
Howdy! Thanks for sharing this process. It’s really helpful to us beginner fly tiers.
Question: Can I use deer hair instead of that e p stuff? I just don’t have any of it but I’ve got lots of deer hair. Let me know.
You can use a deer hair, I would use something light colored that you can see!
I’m having issues with this floating upside down, anyone have any advice?
Ya, Thats common. Try trimming the wings a touch shorter, if its too tall it will tend to fall over. Also, try using a stronger hook (thicker/heavier) the chubby floats so well you can add some extra weight to the bottom in a bigger hook to make it a "Keel". I use a streamer, not a dry fly hook. Give that a shot, should fix it!
Fly shops probably hate this tip but.... buy a roll of "Bonnie Macramé Cord" from the craft store. Lots of colors, including white. It's the same as EP fibers, and $5 roll will practically last a lifetime!
I really need to know what your tying system is!! There is so much overpriced vises out there that only disappoint.
Your looks absolutely LEGIT!! Which Vise is this???!!!
Searching through the previous comments i found it. Thanks!!! Dyna-King
What bobbin is that? I'm looking for a new one and that one looks nice.
This is the TMC adjustable tension. It uses magnets to adjust the tension on the spool. It's colol but not worth the price IMO. The best bobbin I've found is the Renzetti Ruby tip. Not too expensive but very nice. I have about 6 of them.
I will have to tie one with the tips in the video. What size were you tying on, maybe I missed it. I would love to see a zebra midge video........ :l
This was a size 8. I could do a midge video!
What is the hair clip used for?
I use it as a materials clip. Less for dries and more for streamers but I just hook it on my vise.
Will be posting a video of that soon!
What kind of vise is that?
Dyna-King
Foam thickness, length and width?
This was standard 2-3mm tan. Can buy in big sheets from a craft store or from a fly shop.
Trim the foam to length once it's tied in.
About 6-8mm wide but your width will also vary on size you're tying.
Hi looks like a good fly but you need to zoom in a lot closer so that the viewer can see what's going on. Most tying videos only show the fly itself and you only see the upper chest of the person tying.
Need to zoom into the fly a bit more will look much better
Informative video, but your bright white shirt doesn't make the best background. Also, is the hook an Ahrex FW570 or?
Wear a darker shirt next time lol!!
Nice!
