Fly Line To Leader

[fishinwrench]

I prefer a straight nail knot when I know I'm going to be doing the same kind of fishing for awhile, but I use sink-tips fairly often and don't like to have to pack a seperate spool and re-string the rod everytime I want to switch, so I whip a loop in my floating line and use a modified Rio sinking leader. I really don't like the bulk of a loop, but I deal with it for the sake of being versatile.

I find it hard to give up on a riffle or tailout that I've nymphed to pieces, until I've ripped a muddler through it on a sink-tip.
