# **How to Choose Wet Trout Flies: 24 x Northern Countries Spider Patterns, Mixed 12/14/16**
When it comes to trout fishing, selecting the right wet flies can make all the difference between a successful day on the water and going home empty-handed. Among the most effective patterns for targeting trout in rivers and streams are **Northern Countries Spider flies**, known for their lifelike movement and versatility in various water conditions.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the best wet trout flies, focusing on a premium selection of **24 Northern Countries Spider patterns in sizes 12, 14, and 16**—ideal for imitating emerging insects and enticing even the most selective trout.
## **Understanding Wet Trout Flies**
Wet flies are designed to sink below the surface, mimicking drowned insects, emerging nymphs, or small baitfish. Unlike dry flies, which float, wet flies are fished in the subsurface film or deeper in the water column, making them highly effective in fast-moving currents and deep pools.
The **Northern Countries Spider patterns** originate from traditional European fly-tying techniques, featuring soft hackles and sparse bodies that create a subtle, pulsating motion in the water—perfect for triggering aggressive strikes.
## **Key Features of the 24 x Northern Countries Spider Patterns**
This **mixed assortment of 24 flies** includes a variety of proven spider patterns in sizes **12, 14, and 16**, ensuring you have the right fly for different trout feeding behaviors. Here’s why this selection stands out:
### **1. Versatile Sizing (12/14/16)**
– **Size 12**: Best for larger trout or faster, deeper water where a bigger profile is needed.
– **Size 14**: A balanced choice for medium-sized trout in moderate flows.
– **Size 16**: Ideal for finicky trout in slow, clear water or when matching small mayflies and midges.
### **2. Natural Color Variations**
The set includes a mix of **olive, black, brown, and partridge hackle** patterns, allowing you to match the hatch in different seasons and light conditions.
### **3. Soft Hackle Design**
The sparse, pulsating hackle gives these flies an irresistible lifelike movement, making them deadly when swung across currents or fished in a slow retrieve.
## **How to Fish Northern Countries Spider Flies**
### **1. Traditional Wet Fly Swing**
– Cast across or slightly downstream.
– Allow the fly to sink and swing naturally in the current.
– Trout often strike as the fly rises at the end of the swing.
### **2. Nymphing Technique**
– Fish under an indicator or with a Euro-nymphing setup.
– Use a slow, twitchy retrieve to imitate emerging insects.
### **3. As a Dropper Fly**
– Tie a smaller spider pattern (size 16) as a dropper behind a larger nymph or streamer.
– This setup increases your chances of hooking trout feeding at different depths.
