Rainbow Warrior Nymph

If trout had a "most wanted" list, the Rainbow Warrior would be at the top. This flashy, irresistible nymph has fooled more fish than we care to admit, and we're not even a little sorry about it.

• Hook: Barbless Firehole Sticks 633, in sizes 12-18
• Best Used for: Tailwaters & freestone streams — deadly year-round, especially in clear, pressured water.
• Rainbow & brown trout — the flash and UV materials trigger strikes when nothing else will
• Indicator rigs & Euro nymphing — rides beautifully at depth, right in the strike zone

Tied with a pearlescent thread body, UV-reactive materials, the Rainbow Warrior is equal parts science and sorcery. Drop it below a dry, run it on a tight-line rig, or trail it behind a heavy stonefly — it just works.

Tie one on. Thank us later. 🎣
