Snake:

I just had a trip cancellation for next week. Give me a call and I will show you how to fish a Dick Nite.

(Note: Snake and I have fished the Snohomish together for many years. He almost always uses a Dick Nite with a reasonable length leader and no flossing . I often fish a jig or cast plugs. Both are almost impossible to floss with. We both get our share of fish.)

IMHO there is no reason for a leader more than four feet long. The river is seldom crystal clear and a DN will have a great action on a shorter leader, so what is the purpose of a 6-8 foot leader?
