# **How to Choose the Best Trout Flies: KyleBooker’s Dever Special, Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten, and Royal Blue Pulling Leech**
When it comes to trout fishing, selecting the right fly can make the difference between a successful day on the water and going home empty-handed. At **KyleBooker**, we specialize in high-performance fishing gear, and today we’ll break down three of our top trout flies—the **Dever Special**, **Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten**, and **Royal Blue Pulling Leech**—to help you make an informed choice for your next fishing adventure.
## **1. Dever Special: The Classic Attractor Pattern**
The **Dever Special** is a versatile dry fly designed to imitate a variety of insects, making it a must-have in any angler’s fly box. Its unique blend of **bright colors and natural materials** creates an irresistible silhouette on the water, triggering aggressive strikes from trout.
### **Why Choose the Dever Special?**
– **High Visibility:** The vibrant hues (often featuring red, yellow, and peacock herl) make it easy for trout to spot in fast-moving water.
– **Floats Well:** Tied with high-quality CDC or elk hair, this fly stays buoyant even in choppy conditions.
– **Versatile Imitation:** Works as a **stimulator, caddis, or stonefly pattern**, making it effective in different hatches.
**Best For:** Dry fly fishing in rivers and streams, particularly during **summer hatches** when trout are actively feeding on the surface.
## **2. Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten: The Ultimate Nymph for Deep Water**
If you’re targeting trout holding in deep pools or fast currents, the **Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten** nymph is a game-changer. Its **tungsten bead head** ensures rapid sinking, allowing you to reach feeding zones quickly.
### **Why Choose the Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten?**
– **Fast Sinking:** The **tungsten bead** (4mm) gets the fly down faster than brass or lead, perfect for deep runs and winter fishing.

– **Durable Construction:** Built with **strong hooks and UV-reactive materials**, it remains effective even after multiple catches.
**Best For:** Euro nymphing, tight-line techniques, and fishing **deep, slow-moving pools** where trout are holding near the bottom.
## **3. Royal Blue Pulling Leech: The Streamer That Triggers Aggressive Strikes**
For anglers looking to entice **big, aggressive trout**, the **Royal Blue Pulling Leech** is a top choice. This **streamer pattern** imitates leeches, baitfish, and even crayfish, making it deadly in both rivers and still waters.
### **Why Choose the Royal Blue Pulling Leech?**
– **Aggressive Strikes:** The **pulsating marabou tail** and flashy blue body provoke territorial and predatory instincts in trout.
– **Great Action:** Whether stripped slowly or jerked erratically, this fly creates lifelike movement that trout can’t resist.
– **Works Year-Round:** Effective in **cold and warm water**, making it a reliable option in all seasons.
**Best For:** Streamer fishing in **larger rivers, lakes, and reservoirs**, especially when targeting **brown and rainbow trout**.

– **Dever Special:** Best for **surface action** during hatches.
– **Black Eyed 4mm Tungsten:** Ideal for **deep nymphing** in fast or slow water.
