Re: Leader/tippet importance
It is important to adjust to your situation. After fishing your "home" waters you learn what is needed. 5x pretty much works for me but I have 4, 6 and 7x on me. Other places I've even had to have 8x.

Re: Entomology App?
Dont know of one but can tell you a pheasant tail nymph and hares ear nymph will cover most mayfly nymphs. Dry flies will be different though. You need to learn from locals, flyshops, fishing reports...

Re: Tippett rings
I've been using them for awhile and will continue to use them. They are already on cutthroat leaders so I don't have to put one on them. I ordered it with it on there.

Re: Leader Straightener

Re: want opinions on fly fishing vests....
I went with the G3 Guide vest after looking at reviews. In my case I felt like spending the money for the vest would be worth it in the long run. So far the simms gear I own has been worth the money.
