That is it. Try a perfection loop in the big end of the leader and do the Loop to Loop hand shake.

this is a smoother connection and will go through the guides easier.
On the small end of that tapered leader, attach 12" to 20" of the same size tippet using a blood knot or a double surgeon's.

Then attach your fly or flies. This way, the leader will last longer because every time you change a fly, you are cutting off the added tippet, not the leader.
When you get to the initial knot, tie on more tippet and continue.
