Umpqua Red Hot Tapered Leaders1 CommentThursday, 31 July 2014 | Admin These are probably the neatest fly fishing tapered leaders on the market, a 3 coloured leader that can guide your eye to the fly or act as a depth indicator when high sticking! Tapered Leaders are the most important piece of tackle there is yet is is not thought about enough! So when Umpqua Feather Merchants launched one of the hottest fly fishing tippets we have ever seen we have been desperate for stock. We took our samples, played with it and loved the results. This is by far the most innovative Fly Tippet we have ever seen. My eyesight used to be fantastic, however as the hair gets grey my eyes get weaker and all too frequently I find I lose the fly as it tracks down the river or I miss bites due to missing subtle takes. Since fishing with the Red Hot Tapered Leader I have found I miss less fish and see more bites due to its innovative colouring of the butt section. However, this made us think how under-rated the most important piece of tackle a fly fisherman uses is! We all take it for granted however it is next to the fly more important than even our fly rod, reel or line. We spend a lot of money on high end rods yet do not stop often enough to look at our leaders. We do not always think about the colour of the water, for example is is peaty in which case Stroft ABR is more brown in colour or if fishing a river Stroft GTM is a more blue to transparent colour or standard Essential Fly transparent tapered leaders.
