Not Joyce, but she did teach me this one and it has been a go to fly for me many times. (In fact Joyce this fly on the middle Provo was a killer in September when I was there) The Holographic tinsel does not go over the bead.

Hi Joyce
I was unable to find the picture. Do you take the holo over the bead and make the head or behind.

Rainbow warrior
Hook: size 16 dry fly
Thread: red
Head: silver lined bead
Tail: pheasant
Body, red thread
Overbody: clear holographic flash
Thorax cover, the same
Thorax: rainbow scud dubbing
smash barb and slide on bead. With hook in vice, tie on red thread, tie on holo wide flash, wind the hook shank with red thread in an even cover. Wind the strip of holo flash over the thread to the thorax areaa, tie down and flip back toward bend of hook but do not cut off. Dub rainbow dubbing around the bead, bring the holo flash over to be the thorax cover and tie down with a neat red head. A killer fly given me by its inventor, Lance Egan, owner of several Utah fishing records. Joyce
PS: I believe that there is a picture on Byard's swap page as I tied this for a midge swap.
