# **How to Choose Early Season Trout Fishing Flies: 120 in 2 Boxes – A Great Selection for Fly Fishing**
Early season trout fishing can be both exciting and challenging. As winter fades and water temperatures begin to rise, trout become more active, feeding aggressively after months of limited food availability. However, selecting the right flies is crucial for success. The **KyleBooker 120 Flies in 2 Boxes** collection offers a well-curated selection of patterns designed to match early-season hatches and attract hungry trout.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the best early-season trout flies and why the **KyleBooker** assortment is an excellent choice for anglers looking to maximize their success on the water.
## **Understanding Early Season Trout Behavior**
Before selecting flies, it’s essential to understand trout behavior in early spring. As water temperatures hover between **40-55°F (4-13°C)**, trout are still somewhat sluggish but begin feeding more actively. They tend to focus on:
– **Midges (Chironomids)** – Small but abundant, midges hatch year-round and are a staple food source.
– **Blue-Winged Olives (BWOs)** – One of the first major mayfly hatches of the season.
– **Stoneflies & Caddisflies** – Early stonefly nymphs and caddis larvae become active as water warms.
– **Scuds & Sowbugs** – Important in tailwaters and spring creeks.
Matching these food sources with the right fly patterns increases your chances of success.
## **Key Fly Patterns for Early Season Trout**
The **KyleBooker 120 Flies in 2 Boxes** set includes a diverse mix of nymphs, dry flies, and streamers to cover all early-season scenarios. Here are some must-have categories:
### **1. Midge Patterns (Size 18-22)**
– **Zebra Midge (Black, Red, Olive)** – A simple yet deadly imitation for subsurface feeding.
– **Griffith’s Gnat** – A dry midge cluster pattern for surface feeding.
### **2. Blue-Winged Olive Imitations (Size 16-20)**
– **BWO Parachute Dry Fly** – Perfect for imitating emerging mayflies.

### **3. Stonefly & Caddis Nymphs (Size 12-16)**
