Umpqua's Tungsten CDC Rainbow Warrior: A New Twist on a Proven Classic
Elevate your fly fishing arsenal with Umpqua's Tungsten CDC Rainbow Warrior, a variant of the original that brings an innovative touch to a widely celebrated pattern. Designed by signature tyer Lance Egan, this fly incorporates CDC to enhance its natural, buggy appearance and movement, while maintaining the effective color scheme that has made the Rainbow Warrior a staple for anglers fishing tailwaters, freestone rivers, and stillwaters.
Enhanced Natural Material for Greater Attraction
By adding CDC (Cul de Canard) feathers, the Tungsten CDC Rainbow Warrior gains an irresistible "bugginess" that mimics the subtle natural movements of aquatic insects. This feature not only appeals visually to trout but also physically, through the gentle undulations of the CDC feathers in the water, mimicking the lifelike motions of prey.
Tungsten for Precise Presentation
Equipped with a tungsten bead, this version of the Rainbow Warrior sinks quickly to the feeding zone, allowing for a more effective presentation in deeper waters or faster currents. The added weight ensures that the fly remains in the strike zone longer, increasing your chances of a catch.
Proven Effectiveness with a Colorful Twist
Maintaining the beloved color scheme of the original Rainbow Warrior, this fly continues to attract fish not just with its motion but also through its vibrant and reflective body. The colors catch the light under the water, creating flashes that are known to trigger aggressive responses from trout and other species.
Versatile Size for Various Conditions
Offered in size 16, the Tungsten CDC Rainbow Warrior is perfectly sized for a variety of fishing conditions and locations. Whether you're casting into a large lake or navigating the intricate flows of a freestone river, this size offers the ideal balance of visibility and subtlety.
