While the Noble Chernobyl may not be destined to become a classic pattern, I still like the way it looks from the fish view---very buggy. I also think it will float just about anything that you hang from it. Large stone flies are no challenge at all. Heck, if the Noble Chernobyl had been around in 1912, the Titanic could have been saved; just attach a Noble Chernobyl to the bow and stern. Well, maybe 10 or 12 to each end. 8T
