- This is a full tutorial on Devin Olsen’s Improved Blowtorch. Most videos show his older way of tying it, but he has changed a few things. Also, I give some pointers/do’s and don’ts-that not only help you with this bug, but any other fly you tie.
Tights lines!
Cory
Hook: Hanak 400
Bead: Copper Tungsten
Thread: UTC 70 Red
Dubbing: Sybai Fine Diamond Dark Peacock
Hareline UV pink Ice Dub

It’s kind of crazy but you verbalized everything I’ve been thinking about watching a lot of these videos. Of course I’m still learning and I’ve been doing this a while but watching people ignore simple technique gets frustrating so I appreciate everything you said here. Thanks again
Appreciate your feedback, Mel. That's what I'm really trying to do...share information/technique that is correct. Thanks so much for watching and there will be more to come!
Good demo fly tiers talk you through the fly and explain techniques that have taken the years to develop. Charlie Craven, Lance Egan, George Daniels, and Kelly Gallop are some of the best not only tiers but teachers.ODTB is good too.
Keep up the great work. As a beginner I have watched and tied along with a lot of videos, but I have to say your instructions and explanations are some of the best. Knowing the reasons behind doing something is much more important than just imitating someone else tying.
Dean, thank you so much for the kind words. Really appreciate it. Tight lines to you!
I really enjoy watching you tie. All of your ties are very helpful. Thanks
Glad they are helpful, Tony! Tight lines to you!
Great fly and great tie. I love the attention you give to technique in your videos, it really helps me focus on the small things. Every wrap counts if you want to tie thin nymphs. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words Dorian!
Finally someone sets the record straight ! 🙏 I watch a lot your vids and they are the real deal. I studied euro in spain and Lance Egan is my co-host on my podcast. You’re a legend man, great teacher. I’m a big fan 🤜🤛
Really awesome of you to say! I listen to your podcast and love it! Appreciate your kind words and thank you for watching. If you are ever looking for guests, I would honored and happy to fill in wherever you need me.👊
Great tutorial, loved the tips on keeping the fly slim
Appreciate it, Charlie!
Great video. Thanks for posting it. I used to tie in CDC by its rachis, but I didn't like the bulk it added. So now I split 18/0 GSP thread and just use the CDC barbs. This *does* look quite like Olsen's Crossover Nymph, as you pointed out to me before. I'll tie some of these up for my annual trip to MT. Luckily I have all the ingredients you listed in your note.
Appreciate it, Schmoonkie. GSP is good stuff. Love tying with it. Funny thing is I spilt the thread most of the time now myself. You should bust them with this bug out in MT. Good luck to you. Tight lines!
Thin to win! I'm new to perdigons and I'm guilty of wrapping back and forth to tie in materials. The tip to flatten the thread and make 3 wraps to the front to tie in the wire is a good one. I would have wound all the way up tied it in and wrapped all the way back. Your thread control is terrific. The average tier has no idea about flatting and sharpening the thread. Keep making videos, I enjoy the good ones, unfortunally there are many out there like you said that are using poor thread and material control. Pinching the cdc makes it look more natural than trimming them with scissors.
Appreciate the kind words Steve! Thank you for watching!
Brilliant, well done, think your tying philosophy is great!
Thank you, Mike! Nice of you to say. Tight lines to you!
Another great video …. Meticulous attention to detail . Thanks so much for the technique instruction.
Thank you, Brian! Appreciate you watching. Tight lines to you.
As always great tutorial.if I can add one aspect for those wanting to beginning fly tying: pick 4 main recipes, otherwise you can go down the rabbit hole chasing all the required materials.
Thank you, Pete. One of my first and a raw recording! I agree, when you first start, pick a couple of patterns and perfect them. Once you do that, you can start adding. Then and only then, do you go down that rabbit hole.
Great video!! I tie them the other way. I’m gonna give this one a try. Thank for sharing!
You got it, Mike! Appreciate the comment. It’s a great bug. Tight lines!
What other type of dubbing could I use? I do have some hends spectra dubbing and hareline ice dub
Both work, but I would choose Hends spectra over the hareline.
Thanks for the talk about technique. Very helpful to me, at least.
Glad it was helpful. Tight lines to you.
Good tips, thoughtful commentaries. Nice work!! I am subscribing. 👍
Thank you Charles! Appreciate it!
Nice clean tie ODTB! When u mentioned "other tiers" not doing it correctly I thought, "he's probably talking about my old videos" haha. Im still learning but I appreciate your precision to tying. So similar to Egans Red Dart but with an orange tag.
I just tied sum of these as I recapped your video. Thank you for sharing and Tight lines "New sub"..👌
Appreciate it, Black Fly! Wasn’t talking about you! It is similar to the Red Dart. Devin mashed his old BT and Egan’s dart together. It’s a great bug. In my top 5. Tight lines to you and subbed you back👊
Hey man. You have great videos but it’s also great you give credit where credit is due! Keep up the great videos!
Appreciate it, Chris. Thanks for watching and tight lines!
@@OldDominionTroutBum I will say your tutorials are more instructional than most of the original patterns. Great work!
@@chriscrumbley9219 Thanks, Chris!
Great instruction on this tie..one thing I noticed that you do ..which another Tier explains on another channel ..is you twist your dubbing on your thread clockwise..I notice other tiers twist it on counter clockwise and when they go to wrap it on the hook it always blows out and they find themselves always adjusting their dubbing. If your a right handed tier your thread wants to naturally cord up which would be a clockwise rotation further more tightening your dubbing. Curious on your thoughts.
You are 100 percent correct. As a right handed tier, you have to dub clockwise so the thread cords it up. Your dubbing is going to be locked in and isn’t going anywhere. You will be able to catch multiple fish on one bug without it unraveling, plus when it’s corded up it remains thin. Appreciate the comment!
Fantastic detail. I’ve been using midge braid to get the body thinner than I can get it with dubbing
Thank you Patrick! The midge braid sounds awesome, btw. Tight lines to you!
Great job Corey, you always stress what is really important. What are your thoughts about adding the cdc with a clip and dubbing loop rather than using the stem? I would think you might be able to keep the head thinner that way.. Thanks again
Appreciate it. I actually do tie it using a dubbing loop-you do have a lot more control that way. I was just showing another way to tie that most people were used to.
Thanks for watching-that was one of my firsts!
I just watched this again Cory. Nice job!. I was wondering what size hooks you tie and what matching beads on this pattern. I just tied up some Walts, Quilldigons and some olive Krystal flash perdigons. I am waiting for the mailman to bring my black Gulff for the wingcases
I just scrolled down and got my answer....
Appreciate it, Frank! Fill a box up with all of those bugs and you are set! When the mailman comes with new stuff it’s like Christmas morning. Happy tying to you!
Glad you got the info. Thanks again for watching.
Again, great video and thanks for the reply. I’m guessing with the heavy bead, you fish this as a point fly, true??
Glad it is helpful, SG. I use this often on the point, but it can be tied with a 2.3 bead and used on a dropper tied in a size 16. My box is filled with a lot of the same flies, I just vary the size of the hook and bead.
Thank you for getting back to me. This is very helpful info. I will add this tip to what I do on the stream. Also, I very much appreciated your casting video. ALL great info for us beginners, thank you for taking the time to post. @@OldDominionTroutBum
Hi Corey, I usually use a dubbing loop for ice dub, and noticed that you wrap it straight to the thread, does that give you a tighter noodle ? Thanks much
rjf, I like using a dubbing loop as well. I was trying to stay true to the way Devin ties it. You can see how I use the loop here:
ua-cam.com/video/g81XTeGK6uA/v-deo.htmlsi=6O-qvv_JPNLzSXIg
Thank you Corey for your attention to detail. Would you please suggest a book for beginners fly tying? Appreciate your help
Appreciate it, Beaker. I would recommend- Charlie Craven’s Basic Fly Tying: Modern Techniques for Flies that Catch Fish. It’s great for beginners.
I have not seen his book but I have heard good things-Tim Cammisa’s: Fly Tying for Everyone. He has a lot of new patterns that are very popular today.
I do think you need to build a ramp of sorts with countersunk beads. They tend to have a lot more wiggle than slotted beads, especially when you're at the upper limit of a bead size for a particular size hook, much less oversizing a bead (even by one size). Another reason to go with slotted beads, I guess. Also -- any reason to tie the CDC in with the quill on some flies and do it with a dubbing loop on others? Are the techniques interchangeable in your mind? Thanks again ODTB.
JP-I like to lock in the bead at the end. That way you won’t have too much build up in the beginning that can affect to proportions of the fly. You certainly can do it with oversized, you just need to be aware of it.
Both ways are interchangeable, but now I do a dubbing loop or split thread almost all of the time. It is easier and I like the look. Also, it is better for smaller flies.
Hey Cory, I'm really trying to learn the why, not just the how. What determines whether you use the quill vs a dubbing loop? I know you usually use a loop.
Andrew, that's a great question. It really boils down to personal preference. I prefer to use a dubbing loop when using CDC (even though in this video I didn't), as it is easy to control the length no matter what size the fly. Plus you can trim them to size.
When tying a traditional soft hackle, I tie in by the quill, because you can pick a feather to fit the size bug you are tying. This way there will be no need to trim.
Hope this helps.
It would be helpful if you told us what size hook and bead you are using, both in the video and in the description down below. Otherwise a good video. Thanks
Size 14. 3.3 mm bead. You’ll see that I do that if you watch my channel. It was my first and I might add raw video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update
@@OldDominionTroutBum
Excellent video as always. One question. Why do you choose to use the stem technique to get the CDC on for this fly but prefer a split thread technique for others? Thank you
Thank you , Nathan. I actually use a dubbing loop or split thread 90% of the time. I'll use the stem for larger (size 12) flies. This video was one of my first and I was just showing a way that was most popular. A split thread or dubbing loop is easier and more durable. Hope this helps.
Did I miss hook and bead size? Would you put some wire wraps on this?
Todd, I ie these in size 16s and 14s. 2.3 beads to 3.5s. In the video, I believe it was a size 14 with a 2.8mm bead. I don't put any wire wraps on my flies. It doesn't add that much extra weight and does add too much bulk.
I think the trout where I fish don’t like them!Lol. I tie one on every trip or so and they won’t take! I can put on a second fly too... Newberg hare’s w/ pink bead, Walt’s worm, Sexy Walts, soft hackle bead head and they take. I’ll keep trying!Best, Tony
If they are taking something else…keep fishing those. The trout always tell you what they want! Appreciate you watching, Anthony!
Outstanding
Appreciate it, Peter!
Thanks for the hints and measurements good stuff . Do you add lead to this
Appreciate it, Darran. 95% of my flies, I don’t add lead. All it really does is add bulk and you can get your flies down easily without it. If you have flies with 2.3 through 3.3 tungsten (and a few 3.8)in almost all types of water, you’ll get your bugs down.
Thank you for the help
instead of ice dub.I use midge diamond braid in peacock.It's much thinner.
Sounds like a great way, Kenneth. Thank for watching.
Why don’t you split the thread and add the cdc that way. You’ll get two flies out of one feather that way
I do it both ways but it really depends how you want to tie it. You can control the amount of fibers and length easier when you don’t split. I have another video showing a split thread technique on a hares ear as well. It’s more about how I want it to look. Thanks for commenting and watching. Tight lines to you.
Do the first one like ODTB does by tearing the fibers off one side and the wrapping ( little quicker and easier I think) then you can set the fibers aside you stripped off and us a split thread or dubbing loop with them for the next fly. You can also save the fibers you strip off and cut them up to make dubbing! I'm cheap and love to find ways to us all of the materials up.
Thanks for sharing. So the video where he uses some lead wire is not the most current?
Jeff, not sure what video you are referring to but if Devin was using lead and if it is tied differently than this video, it’s an old one. Appreciate you watching.
@@OldDominionTroutBum I believe it's one on his website/blog. Not positive.
He has “improved” it since then. He now ties it just like I have. He took parts of Egan’s Red Dart and incorporated it with his.
@@OldDominionTroutBum Thanks.
Is this a copper color bead? Also it looks like you used UV pink ice dub but said UV shrimp pink. Which is best?
It is copper. You can tie them both ways. Pink UV or shrimp pink. Both work and both look great. But pink is my fav. Appreciate you watching, Ben!
@@OldDominionTroutBum Thank you so much! Love this updated version as I always loathe retying the red dart. Now I can use this for all my blowtorch and dart needs!
Haha! Glad it helps. Good luck with it. It is a real fish catcher!
Have you tried this pattern with fl green tag and fl green collar?
I have not, Ryan. Although, I’m sure it would work, especially when the Grannoms are popping.
Dark grey khaki? That's a new one.
Haha! Just when you thought all the colors were invented! It’s the one Devin uses, but any brownish CDC will do.
What brand of glue was that?
Perry, It's Loctite super glue (brush on).
Nah that's the blow dart🤘🏻
Ha! Yup!
I've moved from Hareline ice dub to slf prism dubbing...so much easier to dub
That's what is great about the materials available today, Ryan. You can always find something that works for you. Appreciate you watching.
What CDC do you use?
I really like Swiss CDC.
@@OldDominionTroutBum Standard and/or select? What do you find to be the most common colors you use/are your ‘go-to’s’?
I’ll use both, but prefer the Select. Dark Brown, Dark Grey Khaki, and Dun are my go-to colors.
What size hook/ bead do you usually tie this pattern?
I tie them in 16s with 2.3 and 2.8s, 14s with 2.8 and 3.3. 12s with 3.8. The most common size I use would be the 14.
@@OldDominionTroutBum great!! Thank you!!
@@OldDominionTroutBum is the pretty much your rule of thumb for all your jig flies? If so what size bead for 18 and 20?
@@flycast4224 It is how I do it. On 20s and 18s, I use 2.3s . Some size 20s and 2.0.
@@OldDominionTroutBum thank you again!
👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👌👌
Appreciate it, Roy!
Kind of an orange dart
Yes. Very similar. Devin took what he liked about the dart and merged it into his Blowtorch.
Stripping half the CDC quill and tying it in is so wasteful. The dubbing loop method for CDC hackle is less wasteful and more effective.
It’s not wasteful if you save it and use it for CDC dubbing. I was showing one technique. Thanks for your input.
