Hi all,
I have what may sound like a real stupid question. Here goes...when using tapered leaders, do you tie the fly directly to the leader or do you add a section of tippet to the end of the leader? I asked a fishing buddy and all I got from her was the old deer-in-the-headlight-look and a statement resembling something like "I've never thought about it that way". I know...the solution is to used furled leaders, but I only have a few (courtesty of a couple of gentlemen from here) whereas I have a box full of tapered leaders. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Ken
