What types of fly fishing leaders do you sell?

Drift Outfitters offers tapered nylon and fluorocarbon leaders in a range of lengths and strengths for trout, bass, steelhead, salmon, and saltwater.

How do I choose the right leader length?

Long leaders (9–12 ft) are ideal for clear water and wary fish, while shorter leaders (6–8 ft) are better for larger flies, bass, or salmon.

What is the difference between tapered and level leaders?

Tapered leaders cast smoothly and help turn over flies, while level leaders are a single thickness and less common in traditional fly fishing.

Which leader brands do you carry?

We stock leaders from RIO, Scientific Anglers, known for knot strength, consistency, and performance.

How should I care for my leaders?

Store leaders neatly coiled in their packaging or a wallet, and replace any that are frayed, kinked, or shortened from use.
