This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Rainbow Warrior, a fly developed by Lance Egan.

The Rainbow Warrior is a relatively new “old” fly. I enjoy highlighting a variety of flies and this is fly catches fish. 

Lance Egan has been a member of Fly Fishing Team USA since 2003 at the World Fly Fishing Championships. He won the a personal bronze medal at the 2016 event. This is just to say he knows how to catch fish and designs flies that work.

The link below will take you to a Youtube video of Lance tying his fly.

I plan on tying a few more of these flies for my upcoming fly fishing road trip.

Enjoy…go fish!
