Rainbow Warrior

The Beadhead Rainbow Warrior is a widely trusted trout pattern, known for its simplicity and surprising effectiveness. Its body is built from synthetic rainbow‑colored fibers, paired with a peacock‑herl thorax that adds natural shimmer. The beadhead provides the necessary weight to help the fly drop quickly into the strike zone.

Versatile and eye‑catching, the Rainbow Warrior can imitate a range of small aquatic  insects—especially midges and mayflies—while its bright, reflective fibers can also suggest tiny baitfish or other prey. It’s a confidence fly for many anglers when the water turns tough.
