Hello everyone,
And nice to meet you. I began fly fishing 3 -4 months ago and I can't believe what I've been missing. The best thing is, when the season is closed I get to tie all winter long. Anyhow, I leave about 20 minutes away from Lake Ontario, Canada and I have 3 major spawning rivers that reach into my backyard. I'm sure you can figure out what I'm targeting. My question for today is tapered leaders. In front of me I have SA 20, 16, and 14 lbs lines. I'm looking to make a universal leader to use in the summer for small trout and bass. This leader would attach to a 5wt. forward float line on a 5/6 wt. 8' or 9' rod. I don't require knots and all that but rather the lengths of each section. On top of this I'm partial to using micro swivels so I can change the tippet to match the condition.
Any help on this would be great.
Also, here's a photo of my first real catch on a fly rod (hopefully it comes through).
Thanks,
MJP
