Default Long tapered leaders

My current leader choice for, say, Silver Creek .... starts as a RIO
7.5' 3X ....





Above for 'average' flies over normal size range


If it was trico time I'd start with a RIO 9ft 7X ... cut it back to 4X, add
ring, and go from there .... this gives a thinner butt and longer finished
leader that works better ... for me ... when the fish are at their most
hammered, and, thus, often, most picky best
