Leonard Positive Turn-Over
Category: Dry Fly Leaders
These formulas were kindly provided by Swedish Johan Allgén. They were measured from two original HL Leonard Rod Co hand tied leaders. The sections were slightly uneven, but roughly followed the form: 18-18-18-18-20-20 inches. The leaders were labeled 9', but were more like 9.5' including a perfection loop in the butt end.

Since you got this far …
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
