Fly Line set up - DanielJRioux - 07-21-2005
Could you cover the set-up from the end of the flyline to the end of the tippet and what goes in between? Thank you!

Hey there DJR - will start from the beginning. 100’ feet of 20lb test backing. [backing available in 12, 20 & 30 wt] Tie fly line to backing with Albright knot Tie leader to fly line with Albright or nail knot. I like the nail knot since I have a tool for this knot. Tie tippet to leader with a double surgeons knot Tie fly to tippet with improved clinch knot Leader & tippet length will vary as will the test of each. The type of fishing will dictate requirements. Options Some people will tie a length of 20 lb mono [about 10” long] to the fly line using an Albright knot and on the leader side a double loop knot. Many leader makers are now making leaders with a loop end to provide a quick change of a leader. One problem I found with this setup is that there is a tendency for the loops to get hung up on the tip guide. Don’t know if this is what you were looking for, if not let me know.

That looks really good, I forgot to start from the reel because mine already had flyline on it. I will ask you anouther question on a new post. Thanks for the info, Dan
