# **How to Choose Tailwater Assassin Nymph Emergers UV Purple – Premium Trout Fly Fishing Flies**
When it comes to fly fishing for trout, selecting the right fly can make the difference between a slow day and a trophy catch. The **Tailwater Assassin Nymph Emerger UV Purple** is a premium fly designed to imitate emerging insects, a critical stage in a trout’s feeding cycle. In this guide, we’ll break down why this fly is so effective, how to choose the right size and variation, and the best techniques for fishing it.
## **Why the Tailwater Assassin Nymph Emerger UV Purple Works**
Trout are opportunistic feeders, and emerger patterns are particularly effective because they mimic insects transitioning from nymphs to adults—a stage when trout find them most vulnerable. The **UV Purple** coloration adds an extra layer of attraction, as UV-reflective materials can trigger aggressive strikes, especially in low-light conditions or murky water.
Key features of this fly include:
– **Realistic Profile:** The slim, segmented body closely resembles mayfly and midge emergers.
– **UV Enhancement:** The purple UV coating increases visibility underwater.
– **Quality Materials:** High-grade dubbing, ribbing, and hackle ensure durability and lifelike movement.
## **Choosing the Right Size and Variation**
The **Tailwater Assassin Nymph Emerger UV Purple** comes in multiple sizes (typically #16 to #22), and selecting the right one depends on:
1. **Matching the Hatch** – Observe the insects in your fishing location. If midges or small mayflies are present, opt for sizes #18-#22. For larger emergers, #16 may be more effective.
2. **Water Conditions** – In clear water, smaller sizes (#20-#22) work best. In stained or fast-moving water, a slightly larger fly (#16-#18) stands out better.
3. **Trout Selectivity** – If trout are ignoring larger patterns, downsizing can make a difference.
## **Best Fishing Techniques**
To maximize success with this fly, consider these approaches:
### **1. Dead-Drifting Under an Indicator**
– Use a strike indicator to detect subtle takes.
– Adjust depth based on where fish are feeding (near the bottom or mid-column).
– A slight twitch can imitate a struggling emerger.
### **2. Euro Nymphing (Tight-Line Technique)**
– Ideal for deeper pools and runs.
– Keep a tight line to feel strikes instantly.
– Pair with a heavier nymph as a dropper if needed.
### **3. Swing Technique in Currents**
– Cast slightly upstream and let the fly swing naturally.
– Trout often strike as the fly rises in the water column.
