Colors for Leaders for Fly Fishing
As a rule leaders may be had in three colors: natural (white), mist color and tea color. As a bone of contention among anglers the question of the proper color for leaders is un- equaled. When all is said the size of the leader, fine leaders for clear streams and shy trout, is far more important. Leaders of natural color are as good as any. In this sort of thing it is necessary to be consistent, and if you use a mist color leader your flies should be tied on mist color snells. Almost without exception flies are tied on natural gut. I know one tackle maker, however, who is certainly consistent. Wide experience has taught him, at least, that trout can only be taken upon flies with tea color snells and Sneck hooks, used on tea color leaders. Love or money cannot obtain from him a natural gut leader, a fly tied on a natural gut snell, or a Sproat hook. And there you are.
