Perdigon rainbow warrior

Two Proven Patterns. One Deadly Fly.

The Rainbow Warrior Perdigon takes the fish-catching DNA of the classic Rainbow Warrior and rebuilds it with the speed and durability of a competition Perdigon. The result is a fast-sinking, hard-finishing nymph that gets into the strike zone quickly and stays there — with a body construction that gives it a warm, luminous glow unlike anything else in the water column.

What's in the Pattern

• Red thread underbody — lays the foundation for the fly's warm, glowing tone and bleeds subtly through the overbody for added depth
• Opaque pearl tinsel overbody — diffuses and softens the red beneath it, creating a rich, translucent quality that shifts with the light
• Red hotspot collar — ties the color story together and delivers a precise trigger point that trout key in on
• UV resin finish — seals the body for a glassy, durable finish that holds up cast after cast
• Hand-tied at Ty's Flies with competition-grade proportions in every size

Fish It Fast, Fish It Deep

The Perdigon profile gets this fly into the strike zone faster than a traditional Rainbow Warrior, making it especially effective on faster runs and deeper pools where you need to get down quickly. Euro nymph it on a tight-line rig, drop it off a heavier anchor, or swing it through a seam on the hang-down. Available in sizes 12–20.
