High Country conditions, anywhere from 8,000-10,000’ in the San Juans, CO

I like the leader. It’s easy to see. I tied a barrel knot per instructions at the terminal end of the leader, then a slip-knotted5x tippet. Worked fine, but am not a fan of the tag end catching on things. I like the small ring better, as it is on the braided leader.
