Description

The Blowtorch Nymph is a great attractor and imitator. The Blowtorch has been and still is a very successful nymph in the competitive fly-fishing arena. Get down quick and fish it deep. This fly produces everywhere it is fished.

Pro Tip

The Blowtorch Nymph is deadly in cold, clear water when trout are feeding aggressively. Fish it as a point fly on a Euro-nymphing rig, or pair it with a more subtle pattern on a two-fly setup to draw attention and entice strikes.
