# **How to Choose Trout Flies: Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech**

When it comes to fly fishing for trout, selecting the right fly can make the difference between a successful day on the water and going home empty-handed. One of the most effective patterns for targeting aggressive trout, especially in stillwaters and deep pools, is the **Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech**. This fly mimics the natural movement of leeches, a staple in a trout’s diet, and its UV-enhanced materials add an extra layer of attraction.

In this guide, we’ll break down why the **Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech** is a must-have in your fly box and how to choose the best version for your fishing needs.

## **Why the Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech Works So Well**

### **1. Realistic Movement**
Leeches are a primary food source for trout, especially in lakes and slow-moving rivers. The Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech is designed with a flowing marabou or rabbit strip tail that undulates naturally in the water, imitating the sinuous motion of a real leech. The twin eyes add weight, helping the fly sink quickly while also giving it a jigging action that triggers predatory strikes.

### **2. UV Enhancement for Visibility**
Trout have excellent vision, and UV-reflective materials can make your fly stand out in low-light conditions or murky water. The UV Olive Leech incorporates synthetic or natural materials that reflect ultraviolet light, making the fly more visible to trout even in deep or stained water.

### **3. Versatility in Presentation**
This fly can be fished in multiple ways:
– **Slow Retrieve:** A steady, slow strip mimics a leech drifting in the current.
– **Jigging Motion:** Short, sharp strips make the fly dart erratically, triggering reaction strikes.
– **Under an Indicator:** When trout are feeding deep, suspending this fly under a strike indicator can be deadly.

## **How to Choose the Right Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech**

Not all leech patterns are created equal. Here’s what to look for when selecting the best Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech for your next fishing trip:

### **1. Hook Quality & Size**
– **Hook Strength:** Since trout can be powerful fighters, especially in rivers, opt for a chemically sharpened, strong hook like those from **KyleBooker’s premium series**.
– **Size Selection:**
– **Size 8-10:** Ideal for larger trout and deep-water fishing.
– **Size 12-14:** Better for smaller streams or selective trout.

### **2. Material Durability**
– **Marabou vs. Rabbit Strip:** Marabou provides a softer, more fluid movement, while rabbit strips have more durability and a thicker profile.
– **UV Flash:** Look for flies with subtle UV flash in the body or tail—too much can spook fish, but just enough enhances visibility.

### **3. Weight & Sinking Speed**
– **Bead Chain Eyes:** Best for shallow water or slow-sinking presentations.
– **Tungsten Eyes:** Helps the fly sink faster in deep pools or fast currents.

## **Best Fishing Conditions for the Twin Eyed UV Olive Leech**
– **Early Morning/Late Evening:** Low-light conditions make UV materials highly effective.
– **Stained Water:** The UV flash helps trout locate the fly in murky conditions.
– **Post-Spawn & Fall Seasons:** Trout are aggressive and key in on larger prey like leeches.
