Finally getting around to using the Fly Rod I got @ Christmas time. I put the backing and fly line on it connected via nail knot.

Now I need to know how (what knot) to make the connection from Fly line to tapered mono leader to Fly?
During some google searches I also saw some videos talking about tippet which sounds like it replaces the final connection from tapered mono leader to fly?

Should probably have checked the library for "Fly fishing for dummies"
