Dozen Tungsten Bead Rainbow Warrior Nymph Selection – Sizes #14–#18

A dozen beautifully tied Tungsten Bead Rainbow Warrior Nymphs in three essential trout-fishing sizes. The Rainbow Warrior is a versatile attractor nymph that adds a touch of flash to your nymph rig and is an excellent choice when you want something that stands out.

Description

The Rainbow Warrior is a popular modern nymph pattern that combines a slim profile with an eye-catching flash that can attract trout in a variety of conditions. Its versatility makes it a great addition to any trout angler’s fly box.

This selection features tungsten bead head versions, providing the extra weight needed to get your flies down quickly and into the feeding zone. Whether you're fishing deep runs, pocket water, or slower pools, the Rainbow Warrior is a useful pattern to have ready.

Why Fish the Rainbow Warrior?

  • Tungsten bead head: Helps the fly sink quickly and reach fish holding near the bottom.

  • Attractor appeal: Flash and color provide visibility and can trigger interest when trout are selective.

  • Versatile nymph: A useful option throughout the season and in a variety of water conditions.

  • Three useful sizes: Covers a range of fishing situations and trout preferences.

How to Fish It

Fish the Rainbow Warrior as part of a standard nymph rig, either as your primary fly or paired with a more natural-looking imitation. Adjust your depth and weight to keep it drifting near the bottom, where trout are often feeding.

It can also be a good choice when trout are seeing plenty of natural-looking nymphs and you want to show them something with a little extra flash.

Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips

I like having an attractor nymph such as the Rainbow Warrior available when fishing pressured trout or changing conditions. If a natural imitation isn't getting a response, adding a little flash and color can sometimes make the difference. Carrying several sizes gives you the flexibility to adjust your presentation to the water and the fish.
