Requirements for Fly Fishing
Other fly-fishing requisites are leaders, leader box, creel, landing net, and waders. On the trout fly-rod leaders longer than six feet should not generally be used on account of the danger of reeling the leader knot through the tip-guide and thus locking the line fast.
The six-foot leader is best for three flies; when using two flies, the preferable number, a five foot leader is sufficiently long. Select the size known "medium trout." The choice of leaders, however, is intimately connected, both as to length and caliber, with the stage of water and weather conditions. Longer and finer leaders must be used over low, clear water than when fishing the stream under normal conditions. Leaders must never be used when dry and brittle and must first be soaked in water to render them pliable; for this purpose the angler should carry two or three leaders in a nickel leader box between layers of wet felt.
