# **How to Choose Still Water Trout Flies: The Ultimate 60-Boxed Flies Collection for Fly Fishing (NBX5)**
Fly fishing for trout in still waters requires precision, patience, and the right selection of flies. Whether you’re targeting rainbow, brown, or brook trout, having a well-curated fly collection can make all the difference. The **KyleBooker NBX5 Ultimate 60-Boxed Flies Collection** is designed to cover every possible scenario, ensuring you have the perfect fly for any still water condition.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the best still water trout flies and why the **NBX5 collection** is an essential addition to your fly fishing gear.
## **Understanding Still Water Trout Behavior**
Before selecting flies, it’s crucial to understand trout feeding habits in lakes and ponds. Unlike rivers, where trout rely on current to bring food, still water trout actively hunt or cruise for prey. Their diet consists of:
– **Aquatic insects** (mayflies, damselflies, midges)
– **Terrestrial insects** (beetles, ants, grasshoppers)
– **Small fish and crustaceans** (scuds, leeches, fry)
Matching the hatch—or imitating what trout are feeding on—is key to success.
## **Essential Fly Categories for Still Water**
The **KyleBooker NBX5 Ultimate Collection** includes 60 hand-selected flies covering the most effective patterns for still water trout. Here’s a breakdown of the key fly types you should consider:
### **1. Dry Flies (Surface Feeders)**
When trout are rising, dry flies are unbeatable. The NBX5 collection includes:
– **Adams Parachute** – A versatile mayfly imitation.
– **Elk Hair Caddis** – Perfect for imitating caddisflies.
– **Griffith’s Gnat** – A deadly midge cluster pattern.
### **2. Wet Flies & Nymphs (Subsurface Feeders)**
Since trout spend most of their time below the surface, nymphs and wet flies are essential. The NBX5 set includes:
– **Pheasant Tail Nymph** – A classic mayfly nymph imitation.
– **Zebra Midge** – A must-have for midge-feeding trout.
– **Damasel Nymph** – Mimics damselfly larvae, a trout favorite.
### **3. Streamers (Imitating Baitfish & Larger Prey)**
For aggressive trout, streamers provoke strikes. The NBX5 features:
– **Woolly Bugger (Olive & Black)** – A versatile leech/minnow imitation.
– **Murdich Minnow** – A great baitfish mimic.
– **Zonker** – Excellent for larger, predatory trout.
### **4. Emergers (Transitioning Insects)**
When insects are hatching but haven’t fully reached the surface, emergers are deadly. The NBX5 includes:
– **RS2 Emerger** – A midge emerger pattern.
– **Klinkhåmer Special** – A hybrid emerger/dry fly.

## **Final Tips for Choosing the Right Fly**

2. **Match the Hatch** – Use flies that resemble the local prey.
3. **Experiment with Depths** – Adjust sinking lines or indicators to find feeding zones.
4. **Vary Retrieval Speeds** – Slow strips for nymphs, erratic retrieves for streamers.
