## **Understanding the D-3 Bead Head Flashback Rainbow Warrior**

The **Rainbow Warrior** is a modern variation of the classic **Pheasant Tail Nymph**, enhanced with flashy materials and a tungsten bead head for better sink rates. The **D-3 Flashback version** incorporates **iridescent tinsel** along the back, increasing visibility in murky water and triggering aggressive strikes from trout.

### **Key Features:**
– **Tungsten Bead Head** – Ensures quick sinking and keeps the fly near the bottom where trout feed.
– **Flashback Ribbing** – Mimics the natural sheen of insect exoskeletons, attracting attention.
– **Slim Profile** – Resembles mayfly and midge nymphs, making it a versatile imitation.
– **Durable Construction** – Built to withstand multiple fish strikes without falling apart.

## **Choosing the Right Size**

The **D-3 Bead Head Flashback Rainbow Warrior** comes in multiple sizes, typically ranging from **#12 to #20**. Selecting the correct size depends on water conditions, trout feeding behavior, and the type of insects present.

### **Recommended Sizes & When to Use Them:**

– **#12 & #14** – Best for **early-season fishing** when larger mayfly nymphs are active. Ideal for **fast-moving water** where trout are aggressive.
– **#16** – A **versatile mid-range size**, perfect for imitating **smaller mayflies and midges** in both rivers and stillwaters.
– **#18 & #20** – Excellent for **low, clear water** or when trout are feeding selectively on tiny midges.

**Pro Tip:** If you’re unsure, carry a selection of sizes (#14, #16, #18) to match the hatch and adjust based on trout response.

## **How to Fish the D-3 Bead Head Flashback Rainbow Warrior**

### **1. Nymphing Techniques**
– **Euro Nymphing (Tight-Line Fishing)** – Use a long leader and a weighted setup to keep the fly drifting naturally near the bottom.
– **Indicator Nymphing** – Pair with a strike indicator for better depth control in deeper pools.
– **Drop Shot Rig** – Attach a split shot below the fly for an ultra-deep presentation.

### **2. Dry-Dropper Setup**
If trout are rising to surface insects, try a **dry-dropper rig** by tying the **Rainbow Warrior** as a dropper below a buoyant dry fly (e.g., **Parachute Adams or Elk Hair Caddis**). This allows you to target both feeding zones.

### **3. Streamer & Nymph Combo**
For aggressive trout, trail the **Rainbow Warrior** behind a **small streamer** (like a **Woolly Bugger**) to imitate a fleeing nymph.
