Size 18 is the everyday workhorse-small enough for selective fish, heavy and slick enough to stay glued to the feed lane. The Rainbow coloration adds a soft glint that turns heads in three to five feet of water without blowing up spooky trout. Run it as the anchor with a size20 emerger on a tag, or pair it beneath a buoyant dry when you need stealth plus depth.

The Rainbow coloration maximizes the fly's attractor qualities with its bright, shimmering body. Sizes 20 and 22 are perfect for fooling selective trout feeding on small midges or mayflies.
The Black Tungsten Rainbow Warrior in sizes 16, 18, and 20 offers a stealthier attractor option for subsurface fishing.
The Pink Tungsten Rainbow Warrior in sizes 16 and 18 is a bold attractor nymph that draws attention in stained water or during winter fishing.
