knot for tippet to fly

[Young Salt]

I Have this strong albright variation the the guy at the fly shop tied for me when i bought the line. The knot is looped.

i tie a perfection loop at the start of my leader, and loop-to-loop them together.

i cut the length and then tie in some smaller mono using a surgen's knot. number of wraps depends on #test

the important part is that i leave the tag end of the heavier line extra long, so i can tie in a dropper if i want to....

I usually tie the fly on using a perfection loop...lets the fly move around & look more realistic.
