Building a fly fishing leader

The leader is the line that connects your fly to your fly line and most applications needs to be tapered down from a heavy (20-30 pound) "Butt" section down to a light (5-8 pound) "tippet" section. For class you need to build a 3 section leader using the perfection loop knot and the blood knot. Practice these knots with parachute cord first then build your leader with monofilament fishing line. Use the diagram below the the two videos to build your leader.
