Parnelli,

Thanks for that clarification on the tie in, and the number crunching on my behalf.

I love fishing with these leaders and your forumula makes good sense in terms of transfering the loop of the fly line to the leader, and on to turning over the fly. I use treated, thread for my dry fly fishing (80"), and 2lb. mono for my heavy nymphing and steelhead leader butts (60"). Your formula should make it simple to calculate for that shorter length as well.

Good stuff here.

Bill
