Salmon, Sea Trout, Dead Drift
Please notice: LeaderCalc hasn't been optimized for small screens. Turning some devices horizontally might make it easier to use, but using a suitably large screen is the best solution.
Category: Salmon/Steelhead/Seatrout LeadersThis particular leader has been specifically modified for seatrout fishing: a 3X tippet behind a 2X tippet.
If a 3X is to limp, remove and use the 2X in its place.
This leader is best for smaller flies, light winds, clear waters or picky fish.
*NOT* a good leader for windy conditions.
