Rainbow

The Rainbow is a classic ginger-brown hackled wet fly, a soft, breathing profile that swims just under the surface like an emerging insect or a small drowned bug.

This understated traditional pattern is a reliable searching fly, swinging and drifting through riffles and runs to draw trout that key on subsurface emergers and tumbling naturals.

Best for:

• Swinging and drifting wet-fly style for trout
  
• Riffles, runs, and pocket water
  
• Imitating emerging and drowned insects

📌 Pro Tip: Swing a team of wets down-and-across — the soft ginger hackle pulses in the current and the take often comes as the fly rises at the end of the drift.
