| Fly Fishing Leader The leader connects the fly fishing line to your tippet. Because fly fishing line is so thick and visible to the fish, it is important that you tie on a fishing leader. The basic fly leader consists of a large diameter butt section, gradually tapering midsection and a tippet. The leader butt will attach to the fly line and the diameter must be similar to the end of the fly line. The leader then connects to a tippet. |
