This week Kyle is back in the hot seat crafting one of his favorite attracter patterns The UV Purple Blowtorch! Designed by competition angler Devin Olsen, the Blowtorch has proven successful across various waters and conditions. Its combination of a hot spot tail, flashy body, and sparse CDC collar makes it a versatile and essential pattern for any fly box. This fly is buggy, sexy, and yes...DEADLY! You need to have some of these in your box in a few sizes - no FOMO! Snag these materials and tie you up several so you can get out there and get to trick'in those trout!
