The Blowtorch is a variation on a pattern our Czech guide showed my Fly Fishing Team USA mates and I while fishing in the 2014 World Fly Fishing Championships. It was deadly in the Czech Republic and it has been deadly here in the USA as well. I generally fish it as the point fly on a two or three fly Euro nymphing or Czech nymphing rig but it would work just as well with a strike indictor rig.
In this tutorial you will learn how to tie this fly as well make a soft hackle nymph with oversized feathers.

I'll definitely give it a go this season. Thanks for sharing!

@fishlipflycollective142 2 года назад

used this pattern recently on the boise river and it did amazing..worked its way into my regular rotation as always D has a knack for teaching me to be a better angler

@tacticalflyfisher3817 2 года назад

Glad you've found success with it. It's definitely one of my favorites.

Great looking pattern. I'll be giving it a shot soon! Thanks Devin.

+Gilbert Rowley Thanks Gilbert!

Really nice fly, I like your choice of materials on this one. Double ribs really make this one a durable fly. I hadn't thought of using crossing ribs on fishing flies. I am happy to have found your channel. I will visit the website. All the best and thanks for sharing. Sean

@tacticalflyfisher3817 8 лет назад

+Sean Mooney thanks! You can find the specific blog post about it here www.tacticalflyfisher.com/blog?tag=Blowtorch+Tag-nymph

The blowtorch has been very effective for me on the Taupo rivers the last few months. Quite often without the softhackle because I'm lazy

@S0NS_0F_LIB3RTY 5 лет назад

Really dig it. Gonna tie some up and fish em here in utah.

Glad you enjoyed it.

@grigri077 8 лет назад

very attractive pattern. Well done Many thanks for sharing with us Pierre (from Québec, Canada)

@tacticalflyfisher3817 8 лет назад

+grigri077 Thanks Pierre! I've got more on the way so stay tuned.

I just wanted to let you know that it work factastically well in the Soca river, Slovenia. Thanks!!

@tacticalflyfisher3817 Год назад

Glad to hear it!

@FarmyJoe76 7 лет назад

Great pattern! I tied it in pink glo-bright & barred cdc as a hackle substitute. It was torn to pieces by trout & fallfish on my local stream!

@tacticalflyfisher3817 7 лет назад

Thanks FarmyJoe. I'm glad it's been working for you.

@tacticalflyfisher3817 7 лет назад

Glad it worked well for you FarmyJoe

Never knew u lived in Oregon till watching this video that's cool 😎

@tacticalflyfisher3817 Год назад

Yep. We were in Enterprise for 3 years while I was still a fisheries biologist.

@@tacticalflyfisher3817 ive heard of enterprise oregon but honestly never been there lol

@gregs7568 5 лет назад

I'm really enjoying these videos and learning so much as I go through them all! ! What is the color of the India Hen Back that you are using in this video? There is almost a yellowish tint to the mottling on the feather. It looks yellowish on the screen, it's hard to tell. I already have the Prince Nymph Brown from Hareline and the Brown Hen Saddle from Nature's Spirit from your online shop. I'm just trying to come up with more color options and ideas.

@tacticalflyfisher3817 5 лет назад

I think it was just an old natural india hen I used in the video but there is a lot of variation between them. I don't get too hung up on the hackle color as the body color and fluorescent tag are the main eye catching features of the fly. These days I'm usually substituting cdc for the hackle as I do it in the Soft Hackle Carrot Video.

@thomasnorthrup9990 Год назад

I'm convinced I could compete in European tournaments, I've never caught so many chubs in my life! 😁

@tacticalflyfisher3817 Год назад

Go get em!

@joosonkim538 7 лет назад

thanks, will def try this out. Any reason not just do a soft hackle with Hungarian partridge?

@tacticalflyfisher3817 7 лет назад

Partridge would work. I just prefer hen hackle because it is more durable than partridge which often gets chewed off after a few fish. CDC also works as a substitute.

@joeduca8582 7 лет назад

Hi Devin, I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Nice fly. I've been following Czech style nymph tying for awhile now, I'm glad to find another competitor. Nice tip on the oversized hackle. I learned that quite awhile ago when I started tying and trying out different techniques. It's easier on a bare hook but looks like a bit of a bear behind a bead. I don't think the fish mind, but have you tried any other methods like cutting off the fibers then applying or even reverse tying them like on a bead less hook? Anyway, guess I'm thinking out loud, but you've inspired me and that's what this is all about. Thanks, looking forward to viewing the rest of your stuff.

@mesanomad55 6 лет назад

This fly is tearing it up for me. A pattern I’m sure rarely seen here in PA.

@tacticalflyfisher3817 6 лет назад

Glad it's working for you Steve. It's a go getter in most places I've tried it.

@chriscrumbley9219 2 года назад

Can you use inverted tungsten beads on jig nymphs or only use on normal nymph hooks to make them invert like a jig hook?

@patches152 Год назад

Devin has answered this question elsewhere, but you can use both. The inverting beads are slightly heavier for the same diameter and fill some weight gaps on the full range of choices available.

@lhannan2166 11 месяцев назад

Devin. I have been tying this as your book shows with the ice pink collar. Which version would you recommend? Also been tying without a full collar hackle. Instead I cut a quick V take two loose wraps and adjust the length by feather stem and then tighten it down. I wonder if either way makes a difference? But, if nothing else it is much quicker to tie. P.S. I have been fishing a couple of local waters the past two days and ALL the trout have taken that fly. Fishing it as the anchor fly or on the tag doesn't seem to make a difference. It's a winner.

@tacticalflyfisher3817 10 месяцев назад

These days I probably use the Ice dub collar most often. I also use CDC hackle most of the time as well. Either way, the trout seem to like it as you've found as well.

@ryantherock7664 5 лет назад

I would think a hackleless version would work well as would sink faster.Im no expert what would you guys say?

@tacticalflyfisher3817 5 лет назад

Ryan The Rock yes a version without hackle would sink better. That’s normally where I employ perdigons.

@ryantherock7664 7 лет назад

Would peacock herl work for the body and red wool for the tag be a decent alternative?

@tacticalflyfisher3817 7 лет назад

They certainly would work. I do prefer the extra sheen and durability of the ice dubbing and the added brightness from the fluorescent glo brite floss.
