Fly fishing leader?
Is it necessary to buy a leader or can you just put some fishing line?

I use 4 lb for bream fishing. |
I tie my own. redfish its 17lb 14lb 12lb. Trout it's 12 lb 10 lb 8 lb. taper helps the leader roll over and get the fly out to the end.
Bream i tie 8 - 6 -4 |
You want it to be taper'd. Tie a blood knot between lines.

Sorry for all the questions, I just started this two days ago and haven't been fishing for very long. What is taper'd?

Bigger test/size to smaller. Starts out .125" and narrows to .100 for instance |
Oh okay, thanks! Last few questions... Would the same tests work for bass as trout? The lighter line at the end or the heavier? And about how long should each be? Sorry if I'm being a pain and thanks for all the help given!

Lighter line at end. Trout and bass will be the same. I usually have around a 3 ft leader...others do differently

So how do you attach the leader/tippet to the floating fly line?
|
Loop knots work for attaching and i tie all my leaders w/ loops . that way i can change my tippet if it breaks or needs to be lighter / heavier.
