A beautiful fly.

 

I have always admired the look of these Irish Lough flies,interesting how they are dressed when compared to flies are tied in the US. (to my amateur eye, anyway)

I have carried a few Rainbow Warriors in my fly box for a few years now and have never used them, until a few weeks ago.

 

I had a very limited time at the local tail water. Tying on at least six different flies, mostly soft hackles, without any luck. With the New England sun and temperature quickly dropping, and less than 45 minutes left, I tied on one of two Rainbow Warriors I had. Second cast, I had a nice 18 inch 'Bow to net, followed quickly by a couple smaller Brookies and 'Bows. Heck, I even got a hit dangling the fly down stream as I changed wading positions. So, I tied up a few more for the box.

 

Sized 12 -16, various colored glass bead heads, various dubbing, some with black floss under body: my humble 'December Flies from the Vice' offering.

Thanks, Norm, for the postimage suggestion.

 

Thanks also to the mods for fixing the site's issues from a few weeks ago, I had nearly given up visiting, let alone trying to post anything.

Eide, Wow! I don't know much about traditional salmon flies but to my eye that is as good as I've seen anywhere.

 

Flytier, one look and I thought big bream...

 

Scott, you have just been on fire lately.

 

Cream, not only are your ties superb but the consistency is great.

 

Kimo, when I grow up I wanna tie like you.

Red and Copper Chironomid



The Red and Copper is sort of a triple threat. It can be taken as a bloodworm, and red pupa or an attractor. Has worked well for me in sizes #14-#18. Its a simple tie.


gills- white Uni-Stretch


bead- red


abdomen- UTC 70 red


rib- copper holo tinsel or copper Flashabou


thorax- black thread


coating- Solarez Bone Dry
