Where do you live, Minasizer? What kind of waters are you fishing?
Names of the streams? What rod weight are you using and what weight
fly line? What is a "heavy line"? Please don't tell us you are using
a 10 weight line on a 5 weight rod. d;o) Learn how to fly fish
before you tie your own leaders. Chances are you will like a
commercial leader/tippet set up. Match the fly to the leader. I
doubt you will be catching any 2 pound trout for awhile, so a 2 pound
leader/tippet should be ok. BTW, you should be able to land a 4 pound
trout on a 2 pound leader.

I live in Philadelphia PA, I fish the Wisahickon Creek and sometimes I
travel to Norristown and fish Stony Creek. The Wisahickon ranges from
about 1 to 6 feet in deep where I am fishing. I fish where there is
moving water. Stony creek is about 1 to 4 feet deep slower moving
than the the Wisahickon. My rod weight is 5 to 6 wt. I am use to a
spinner I use a 6lb test on that usually with a rooster tail. I am
using 333 as my fly line not to sure what it rated for I bought a
combo package at Dicks Sporting Goods. Is there a chart to match up
flies with leaders? I am very good at tieing knots and already have
fishing line from various sizes and test.
