Rainbow Sow Bug
The Rainbow Sow Bug is a versatile fly designed to mimic the natural behavior of sow bugs and scuds in freshwater environments.
Known for its effectiveness in tailwaters, this fly adds value to any attractor lineup when fishing in areas where sow bugs are commonly found.
Tied in a Sow Bug style, it closely replicates the appearance and movement of real insects, making it ideal for murky waters where visibility is low.
Best performance is achieved when fished on a dead drift, allowing it to imitate the natural drift patterns of live insects.

Fished in a tailwater this week and caught several trout on the Rainbow Sow Bug. It stayed on the bottom and looked natural in the dim light. A solid addition to my fly box.
Boris Ferguson –
Worked well in a shaded, muddy section of the river. The dead drift technique made a big difference. Would recommend for murky water conditions.

Used it during a late afternoon drift and saw a good response. The color and shape match the real bugs well, especially in low visibility.
