    All of Lance’s patterns are top notch and this fly is no exception! I tied and fished it a ton this spring with great success. I really like the Peacock Herl substitution. I’ll have to give that a try on a few this spring. Excellent work as always Tim!

    Yeah it works great for me too. I like to fish the red dart or blue dart on point and then a rainbow warrior as dropper. Guaranteed fish in the net.

    Just wanted to say that as a northern NJ fisherman this is easily my best performing fly over the last two years. It works stupidly well for everything from stocked rainbows to native brookies under every condition I can think of. Thank you for sharing this pattern, and credit to Lance Egan for the original design!

    This was one of my first patterns I learned to tie. It catches alot of fish if fished as point. They also work great in blue. Or egan's blue dart. Except I tie my blue darts entirely in blue except for the pink dubbing collar.

    You should do a tying demo of the clouser crayfish. Because I can't find an easy way to make it ride hook down while using the craft fur. Adding dumbell eyes makes it too bulky.

    Is there a reason you omit the tippet ribbing that Lance uses?

  • @tightlinevideo

    @tightlinevideo

    5 жыл бұрын

    As a competitive angler, Lance needs his flies to be absolutely bulletproof. Needing to change a fly because of damage during a competition can mean the difference between winning and losing. For me, a recreational angler, I am far more likely to lose a fly to the bottom before it is significantly damaged by a fish. So, I go with natural peacock as opposed to more durable dubbing and use just a single strand of Sulky to protect it and omit the tippet. I've yet to replace one due to damage.

    @@tightlinevideo Thanks for the reply. That makes a lot of sense. Despite how effective the Blowtorch is I find myself not wanting to tie any because they take so long (similarly with the red dart). Using herl and omitting the tippet makes them much faster. I tied up a dozen red darts in this fashion yesterday and hopefully they will produce for me today.
