TAILWATER RAINBOW WARRIOR JIG

Description

Tailwater Rainbow Warrior Jig – a flashy, fast-sinking attractor nymph for selective trout

The Tailwater Rainbow Warrior Jig is a proven trout fly that combines flash, profile, and sink rate to create a deadly tailwater pattern. Designed to stand out in clear or slightly off-colored water, these fly fishing flies imitate midges and mayfly nymphs while doubling as a strong attractor. It’s ideal for technical rivers where trout respond well to subtle flash and natural drift.

Design / Features

The Tailwater Rainbow Warrior Jig features a slim, pearlescent body, bright thorax, and a tungsten bead that drives it quickly into the feeding zone. The jig hook rides point-up, reducing snags and improving hookups. Its reflective materials create just enough shimmer to catch a trout’s eye without overpowering the presentation. Durable construction ensures multiple fish per fly.

When & Where to Use

The Tailwater Rainbow Warrior Jig excels in tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestones during winter and early spring, but it’s productive year-round. Fish it as a point fly in Euro-nymphing rigs or under an indicator to target feeding trout in deeper water. It’s especially effective in pressured fisheries.
