Hi chaps,
A little advice needed please.
I'm fairly new to fly fishing and after many leader experiments I seem to have settled on Orvis Super Strong tapered leaders (with fluro tippet if sub-surface fishing).
I would like to try a team of two flies and would prefer to stick with the tapered leader - is it ok to extend the tippet to incorporate a dropper (perhaps starting with a 7.5ft leader instead of my usual 9ft to allow for the level mono/fluro extension) or would you tie a dropper on the tapered part?
Also, what sort of gap should I leave between point and dropper?
Any tips appreciated.
