Rainbow Warrior - Tying Instructions

The versatile Rainbow Warrior pattern is a hybrid crossing a Disco Midge with a WD40 - taking two fish catching patterns and melding them into one very good pattern. East of the Mississippi I like them in #14 -#18, but out west it is likely #18 -#22. Check out the "Scalped Warrior" at the end of the video for a little twist that often is the ticket on those hard fished tailwaters - east or west.

PRINCE NYMPH - TYING INSTRUCTIONS

The Prince nymph is one of the most common attractor nymphs out there, but it is hard to argue with it's fish catching prowess. Maybe it lies in the white "horns", or the subtle peacock herl flash, or even the ubiquitous subaquatic shape, or maybe it is all that wrapped into one pattern. The bottom line is that this fly catches fish east to west, in many sizes, so it was an obvious choice to launch our fly tying video series! Please enjoy this initial installment.
