    Welcome aboard, Scott. I'm in the Tulsa area. There are a few other Okies on this board as well.

    I just doubled the end of my fly line over, and using some 10 lbs test power pro braid, whipped the ends together, creating a loop, which is connected loop-to-loop with my furled mono leader. I thought I was being clever, but apparently, I'm not the only one that's thought of this!

    Yes, Welcome aboard for sure!! Ask your questions here 'cause thats why we're here! One must be careful about reading about "Fly Fishing" because in the words of Lefty "There is more BS in Fly Fishing than a Kansas feed lot!!"

    So true!

    But keep in mind that there is usually more than one good or even right way to do things.

    As long as it's my way it's the right way.

    I am also a member of the looped end flyline fraternity. I noticed the line I was using yesterday was finished with a piece of shrink tubing over the wraps.

    AllenOK, One of the things I figured out about the guy and girls here is it is almost impossible to come up with an idea someone else hasn't tried or isn't using. If you combined all the years of experience here you would probably conclude Adam was a flyfisherman.
