No, you will surely run into leader shy fish. I just don't think you
will need a 12 foot leader for them, however. I'll get flamed for
saying this, but a 7 1/2 foot 5x leader with 18 inches of 6x
fluorocarbon tippet would work just as well. Or even a 6x leader with
7x FC. FC sinks, true enough, but I have had no trouble floating
small flies with it, and because it does sink I think that is a
positive thing. Some will say that FC is too stiff to turn over a
fly, but I have never had that trouble.
