Parachute Rainbow Warrior

The Rainbow Warrior, Elevated

The Rainbow Warrior already had a devoted following as a nymph — so what happens when you add a parachute post and bring it to the surface? You get a dry fly that's just as effective, and a whole lot more fun to watch. The Parachute Rainbow Warrior combines the proven trigger elements of the original with the high-floating visibility of a parachute design, making it a legitimate weapon during mayfly hatches and as a searching pattern between them.

What's in the Pattern

• Hook - Fulling Mill Ultimate Dry Fly Barbless FM5050
• Tinsel body — slim, flashy, and irresistible in the surface film
• Rainbow dubbing thorax — multi-tonal and light-catching, suggesting a fully developed insect ready to emerge
• White parachute post — easy to track in any light, keeps the fly riding flush in the surface film
• Hand-tied at Ty's Flies with quality materials built to last

Fish It with Confidence

Dead drift it through a riffle during a PMD or Baetis hatch, or use it as a searching pattern on slow pools when fish are sipping something you can't quite identify. The white post stays visible even in choppy water, and the tinsel body does the rest. Available in sizes 12–18.

All the magic of the Rainbow Warrior. Now on the surface. Hand-tied at Ty's Flies.
