Thanks for sharing. I like how you give scenarios where you would use the different patterns. I’d like videos where you share those little nuggets of fly fishing wisdom. I’m just getting started, and I need all the help I can get.

I am definitely the kind of person that wants people to know why I do certain things. Those little nuggets are all over my videos :) I'm glad you're picking up on them!

[@joecruse4531]

I like the Rainbow Warrior. Thanks for another great video. I went trout fishing down in central Kentucky and euro nymph and caught 13 rainbows. I saw the sighter as well as felt the takes. Getting to like euro nymphing.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's awesome! Congrats!

[@soloflyfishing]

Nice tutorial! I appreciate telling us how you fish it. Have not tied any rainbow warriors but you got me convinced to tie some up for the box before I hit the water later in the month.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

They're different than most flies in my box because they're so flashy... Definitely a good fly to have in your box.

[@driftstone]

Nice, i've never seen anyone double up the lead free wire like that. Nice tip.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yeah... just something I developed one day.

Great vid. I am always looking for guide style patterns that are easy to tie in multiple sizes and weights. Please keep up with nymphing videos.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thank you! Will do!

[@wildbrookies]

Looks like yet another deadly fly to use when you need a weighted flashy bug to grab a trouts interest really fast. Good to use these weighted flies in a fast run that has pockets/ boulders where trout lie just off of the fast water. They’ll strike out of instinct and this will grab its eye quickly. Thanks for sharing this fly with us. Yet another must have fly in the fly box !

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yes!!! Definitely agree!

[@joecruse4531]

Went for Northeast Ohio Steelhead with your Stonefly Bombs. Fishing was tough due to recent rains but I did manage to hook and land a nice Steelhead. I wish I could attach a photo, it was a nice one. I can honestly say I felt at ease euro nymphing over using forward floating line. At one point I switched over to FF line and I realized I had more control with my nymphing setup of level line, sighter and tippet and of course your flies. Thanks for all your videos on euro nymphing and explaining how to fish the gear.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Sweet! Send me the picture on Instagram! Congrats!

[@pierevojzola9737]

Hi, really good fly that works well on our Steelheads here in Taupo NZ. The pattern was named after the ship the Rainbow Warrior that was blown up by the French in Auckland Harbour in July 1985. As you mentioned, the flash certainly attracts the Rainbows! Lovely tying instructions. Cheers mate. Harera

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I've never used it for steelhead but it definitely looks like a steelhead fly!

I have used a couple of rainbow beads following your advice and fished for Grayling here in Devon, UK.

Nice!!! I hope they work for you!

[@Mouafishingthings]

Another great one! Love the rainbow warrior! Just caught my personal best this past weekend on one as well! A nice fly to tie next would be a frenchie or another nymph ? Egg pattern 😬

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Congrats on the PB! I have a frenchie on the channel from several years ago and actually my first fly tying video I ever did was a glo bug but that was a really rough video from a long time ago 😂

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany lol! Maybe fly that’s a special one for you 🤔

[@pibroch2160]

Yep, another fine video. I’m looking forward to learning to tie my own. Doing the research now to find a reasonably priced decent quality vice to start. I’ll take any suggestions and look into them. I’ll keep watching and learning. Thanks and please continue.

[@jacobmccoy2279]

I use a Dan-vice. I would recommend it to any new tyer. I tie everything from large streamers to size 22 dry flies in it. They are moderately priced as well.

Great video. Love the euro series. Would be cool to see how you make leaders.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's a good idea! I go through my leader and micro leader formula but don't actually tie them on camera. I need to refresh my leaders this spring so thanks for the idea. I'll try to film it!

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany It would be a great video to see how you make your leaders. Formula is one thing the process I feel would be just as helpful. I have never made a leader and I would find it very valuable! Thanks for the great videos

[@leomccormick4368]

This is one of my favorite Euro flies. Just curious- Have you ever tried using a lead substitute in your weighted nymphs? Thanks again for the excellent videos.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I have tried lead substitutes and didn't like them. Even tried tungsten but it was so thin it didn't add weight. I found the other substitutes don't add enough weight for the size so it just didn't make sense. You can try adding some small tungsten beads in addition if you don't want to use lead.

[@darranthompson6464]

[@jameskocsis7366]

Great content. My question is what is the most common hook size you use? I've been using 10-14 wondering if I should use more like 12-16 or maybe even 18 more. Thanks

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Kinda depends. I would first recommend seeing what size nymphs you have in your rivers. Go flip some rocks and see what you see and match size. Having said that, my typical nymph size is 14 or 16 for standard nymphs. Perdigons and other droppers I might go 16, 18 or 20. Stoneflies are obviously bigger... I think I use a long shank size 10 for them.

[@robertfrancisco1193]

looks good ! would you use it for trout in the winter months? .

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yes... I would use it all year.

[@haydenstewart1659]

Looks like a deadly winter fly. Do you put some uv glue over the flash body material to help the durability with trout teeth?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I have not done that but that's a great idea!!! I may try that out!

[@xTranscendx]

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Definitely more coming!

[@gerryfelix5948]

Ok to use normal bead heads vice slotted when using jig hooks? What benefit do we enjoy when using slotted beads?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Slotted beads are used with jig hooks because they lay in a better position on the hook. However, when using lead wraps like I do you can get away with a regular bead by sliding the lead up into the bead to hold it in place. If I wasn't using lead I would want to use a slotted bead.

[@gerryfelix5948]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany thank you for the clarification. Helps in affording me added flexibility. Keep ‘em coming, very educational.

[@dickfleming356]

Do you use the Rainbow Warrior as a point or dropper?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Either. It depends on the type of water and if I need a heavier fly to get down or not. A lot of times I'll use my Sexi Stonefly Bomb to get down in faster or deeper water and in that case I'll put the Warrior on the dropper. But in normal flow conditions the Warrior could go on either the point or the dropper.

[@charlesmarra6942]

why do you like jig style hooks or these flies?

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

The big reason I like jig style hooks is that they have a better hookup ratio! A barbless jig hook penetrates easily. I lose way more fish with a standard nymph hook. Also the jig hooks ride with the hook point up. You tend to snag bottom a little less that way.

[@pensnut08]

I bet a bigger, beefier version would be good for salmon.. Maybe some orange or other bright material.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Give it a whirl when you make it up here!! :)

[@willdunbar9267]

Is there a reason you don't use lead free wire? I know it is not as heavy, but a small price to pay for a more environmentally friendly fly. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I've tried other wires and they just don't work well. I even tried tungsten but they were so thin they didn't add weight.
