Try tying a small perfection loop instead of a bow. g

No matter how small you tie your loop, there's going to be a section
of doubled-up mono.


That doubled up mono is right on top of your fly line, at least if you're
using a braided connector. It's only slightly less stealthy than the
flyline itself. Your fly is nine feet away from that, or maybe even 12 if
the situation merits that.

I can think of plenty of reasons why I don't catch fish, and insufficient
stealth is probably one of them, but I haven't gotten around to blaming my
leader loop for it.
