Black Blowtorch – Tungsten Bead Nymph

A blacked-out take on the classic Blowtorch, built to get down fast and trigger reaction strikes in stained or high water. The black holographic body gives off just enough flash without overdoing it, and the hot orange tag and collar add a subtle trigger point trout key in on. Finished with a faceted copper tungsten bead for quick sink rate and added flash on the drop.

Fish it as your point fly in a euro nymphing rig or under an indicator — effective year-round, especially productive in off-color water and during runoff.
