It doesn't matter to the fish what color your line is since it always seems to be black to them. On the other hand, the thought of having something dark for breakfast is not very enticing. This is when the role of the leader becomes important.
The fisherman has a connection that is almost invisible between the line he is using and the fly he is using thanks to the leader, which is attached to the end of the colorful fly line. The length of a leader that has been purchased commercially can range anywhere from 7.5 to 9 feet, but this range is typically used.
The majority of leaders are made of tapered monofilament nylon, which means that they have a bigger diameter at the butt end, which is where they link to the fly line, and a smaller diameter at the tip, which is where they knot the tippet or fly.
Because of the leader's taper, it is able to shoot through the air with greater efficiency and land with less impact on the surface of the water during the cast. There is a wide range of hefts and power levels among leaders. The appropriate weight of the leader will almost always be dictated by the size of the fly.
