Virtual Fly Tying!
Hi Everybody!
I have grown to like this Lance Egan pattern called a Rainbow Warrior. I like to tie them small (size 16 and even smaller). It is an excellent nymphing/searching pattern that I have had a lot of success with. Take a look at the video below. I have detailed how I tie it! It is slightly different than the way Lance ties it. A fairly straight forward tie.
I do tie them with either a rainbow bead or a silver bead. I also do use jig hooks.

(I made my own dubbing for the thorax initially, I am sure you could substitute lots of different dubbings here)
