So what is the thought on fly size to tippet size, anyway? ...

I use the biggest tippet that will fit easily through the
eye of the hook. It's rare, *very* rare, when tippet size
puts off fish when everything else, ie presentation, fly
selection etc., is correct.

It's not particularly rare at all. Water with complex braided currents
often require very fine tippets for dry-fly fishing, and quite a long
length of it to boot. ...

With a little experience you'll learn to fish dry flies with
4X or 5X. I use 6X maybe twice a season.
