Rebecca Parr –
Used the Rainbow Warrior in a clear mountain stream and got multiple strikes. The pearl body stands out well and trout reacted immediately. Great for pressured waters.
Lily MacDonald –
Fished it in a lake during early spring and caught several trout. The flash works well even when the water is transparent. A reliable nymph pattern.
Adam Randall –
Worked well in a tailwater setting. A bit flashy, but that’s exactly what I needed to get bites in a low-activity area.
Rose Lawrence –
Consistently produced takes in both streams and lakes. The visibility of the pearl body makes it stand out underwater, which is exactly what I wanted.
Nathan Bell –
Good performance in pressured fishing situations. Not the most subtle pattern, but it gets results when other flies don’t.
