Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Attaching the Fly: Tie the Stoats Tail Micro Fly Treble to your leader using a reliable knot suitable for the tippet size. A clinch knot or a Palomar knot are good choices.
- Line and Leader: Use a leader appropriate for salmon fishing, considering the water clarity and the size of the salmon you are targeting. Fluorocarbon leaders are a good option for low water clarity.
