Leaders II

So last night my wife and I went to the local fly shop and picked up a few more spools of mono. The fly-guy at the shop also ties his own leaders for bass fishing using a Lefty Kreh formula. Naturally I whipped up two of those to add to my warm water fishing leader wallet. They are only 8.5' long, I may have to do some tweaking of my own if I intend on anything other than top-water, I will have to think about that. He says it will work for saltwater situations and for salmon in Alaska. I am eager to pick up an Umpqua leader-kit so that I can get started with the more delicate dry fly trout leaders as designed by George Harvey.

One interesting fact that I discovered last night is that Umpqua had a higher lb. test then Maxima of the equivalent diameter.
