The iridescent pearl body creates a subtle, multi-tonal flash that imitates the translucent sheen of midge pupae and emerging Baetis nymphs in the water column. On the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork, and Colorado River, this fly gets eaten — often when everything else is getting refused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bead head version adds weight for faster sinking and a focal point that draws the trout's eye, making it especially effective in deeper runs and faster water where you need the fly to get down quickly. Available in #14, #16, and #20 to cover the full range of midge and small mayfly sizes on Colorado's technical tailwaters and freestone rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bead head midge pupa \/ emerger imitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iridescent pearl — multi-tonal flash imitating midge and Baetis pupae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e #14, #16, #20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBead:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bead head — added weight and visual focal point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImitates midge pupae and emerging Baetis nymphs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective on the Frying Pan, Roaring Fork, Colorado River, and most Colorado tailwaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks year-round; especially effective during midge and Baetis hatches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Fish It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDead-drift under an indicator or on a tight line at depth through seams, runs, and the heads of pools where midges and Baetis concentrate. Also works well in the film as a trailing emerger behind a dry fly in a dry-dropper rig. The #14 covers most standard conditions; drop to the #16 or #20 on the Frying Pan's technical tailwater when trout are keyed on the smallest naturals. Pairs well with a Zebra Midge, RS2, or Walt's Worm as a dropper in a two-fly nymph rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in store at Glenwood Springs Outdoors, 831 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mayfly","offers":[{"title":"#14","offer_id":54394838942062,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#16","offer_id":54394838974830,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#20","offer_id":54394839007598,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1090\/7758\/files\/rainbow_warrior_beadhead_2_480x426_18c3f569-6b44-4e37-b369-fab5121b6ba6.jpg?v=1785168515","url":"https:\/\/www.glenwoodspringsoutdoors.com\/products\/rainbow-warrior","provider":"Glenwood Springs Outdoors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
