Rainbow Warrior - Black Holo

Rainbow Warrior – Black Holo

The Rainbow Warrior is one of the most effective and widely used euro nymphs in modern fly fishing — a pattern built around a UV-reactive body that catches light in the water column and triggers strikes from trout in fast water and deep runs. The black holographic variation delivers a bold, dark profile with a holographic flash that creates an iridescent, light-scattering effect in the water column — making it especially effective in off-color water, low-light conditions, and deep runs where a high-contrast, attention-grabbing pattern is needed to draw strikes from fish holding deep. Tied on a jig hook with a tungsten bead, the Rainbow Warrior rides hook-point-up to reduce snags and gets into the strike zone fast.

• Body: Black holographic material — bold, dark profile with iridescent flash that scatters light and stands out in off-color water and low-light conditions
• Color: Black holographic — high-contrast attractor effective in deep water, off-color conditions, and low light
• Hook: Jig hook — rides hook-point-up to reduce snags on the bottom
• Head: Tungsten bead — gets the fly into the strike zone fast and keeps it there through complex currents
• Best water: Fast-water rivers, pocket water, and deep runs — ideal for euro nymphing and tight-line techniques; especially effective in off-color or low-light conditions
• Target species: Trout
• Techniques: Euro nymphed tight-line through fast water and pocket water; effective as a point fly or dropper in a euro rig; dead-drifted under an indicator in deeper runs
• Sizes available: 12, 14, 16
