| | the tippet rule - Fly Tying |
 | | the reasoning behind the rule is that it takes a tippet of a certain diamiter to resist the force of the twist caused by a fly being pulled thru the air by the flyline. |
 | | You are right, water clarity,fishing pressuer and other factors do make you use the lightest tippet possible if you want to catch fish but you aint gonna catch didily squat with the tippet twisted in a knot, so you also need to use the heaviest tippet you can get away with. |
 | | Yes, the tippet is part of the presentation, but so is the leader, rod and reel, fly line, your arm, wrist, fingers, etc... |
