SOW BUG RAINBOW TUNGSTEN

Description

Sow Bug Rainbow Tungsten – a bright, fast-sinking sow bug imitation for tailwaters

The Sow Bug Rainbow Tungsten is a vibrant, high-performance nymph pattern designed to imitate sow bugs while adding extra attraction with its rainbow body tones. The tungsten bead ensures a fast sink rate, allowing the fly to reach feeding zones quickly in deeper or faster currents. This pattern combines realism with just enough flash to draw attention, making it a powerful option for pressured and selective trout.

Design / Features

The Sow Bug Rainbow Tungsten features a soft, buggy dubbing body blended with subtle rainbow tones for added visibility. Fine ribbing provides natural segmentation, while the flashback wing case enhances the fly’s light signature underwater. A tungsten bead adds weight without extra bulk, keeping the silhouette realistic and the drift natural. Built to be durable, it withstands multiple hookups and heavy use.

When & Where to Use

Sow Bug Rainbow Tungsten fishing flies excel in tailwaters and spring creeks where sow bugs are a year-round food source. Ideal for Euro-nymphing, indicator rigs, or tandem setups, it’s particularly effective in deep runs, seams, and weed beds where trout feed steadily. A great choice during colder months or anytime you need a fast-sinking attractor.
