Hazy Blow Torch

The Hazy Blow Torch is a precision-tied jig nymph from Hazy Fly Fishing that delivers serious fish appeal with its hot orange collar, olive green wrapped body, and copper bead head combination. The bright orange hot spot is the signature detail that differentiates this fly and triggers reaction strikes from trout that have seen it all.

Built on a size 16 jig hook for a natural up-turned presentation, the Blow Torch is right at home in the Euro-nymphing game. The copper bead gets it into the strike zone fast, while the soft CDC or hackle fibers trailing back give it just enough movement to look alive in current.

The contrasting olive body and orange collar closely suggest a variety of nymph and midge species in their naturalistic olive tones while the "torch" collar acts as a trigger point — a focal flash of color that draws the fish's attention and seals the deal.

Throw this at any time of year, but it particularly shines in the off-season months when fish are finicky and looking for something just slightly different. Works equally well under an indicator or fished tight-line on a long leader.
