A furled leader (also known as twined leader) is a type of knotless tapered fly fishing leader. It is known for high performance, low memory, [1] [2] and soft artificial fly presentation when casting. These attributes are due to the way these leaders are constructed which is similar to creating rope. The big difference is that furled leaders ...
Pinch the leader against the fly line and tube between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand, near the left end of the tube, leaving 10-12″ of the tag end of the leader free to tie the knot. Make 6–8 close together wraps, working left to right, away from the pinch, back around the fly line, leader, and tube.
Turle knot – used while fishing for tying a hook or fly to a leader; Twined Turk's head – decorative knot with a variable number of interwoven strands forming a closed loop; Tumble hitch; Two half-hitches – an overhand knot tied around a post, followed by a half-hitch
The physics of flycasting can be described by the transfer of impulse, the product of mass and speed through the rod from base to top and from the transfer of impulse through the fly line all the way to the tip of the leader. Because both the rod and the fly line are tapered the smaller amount of mass will reach high speeds as the waves in rod ...
Thread: Fly tying thread comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Most modern fly tying thread is made of nylon or polyester. Special use thread may be made of gel-spun polyethylene (GSP), Kevlar, silk, or even Monofilament fishing line. The size of the thread is measured in either denier or aughts.
Fly fishing on the Gardner River in Yellowstone National Park, USA. Dry-fly fishing uses a line and flies that float. They are joined by a fine 3 to 5 meters long leader, typically of nylon monofilament line, which is tapered so that it is nearly invisible where the fly is knotted, and the angler can replace the last meter or so of nylon as required.
