Here is a killer fly on rainbows. It's been whacking them like crazy for the last few months. I have been fishing some very heavily pressured fish and it has been deadly.
On the Colorado River at Lees Ferry thee is an orange bead head small streamer in green. It is true that this fly too never works on the Green River for Browns.. I think you are onto something with the orange beads for rainbow waters. Leave the bead off and it catches browns. Or change it to copper bead head maybe? Browns love copper right?
This is very similar to the "Frenchie" pattern.

Looks like a winner. Going to give it a try on the rainbows in the Pine and Kettle. Can you tell us where to get that flat lead? Thanks in advance.
