Cool thanks for all the tips everybody, I like the idea of winding
extra line around the reel so that there is a few feet of Fly line
already out the tip top. That is a good idea and I never would have
figured that out on my own, someone probably would have shown me
eventually but who knows how long I would have look like a fool holding
my rod in the middle stretching out my right arm to reach the tip
top...silly me.
Thanks,

Not only that, but the leader will get a permanent bend in it from the
tiptop. The fly line resists creases much better.
