All I meant was using a leader shortened a bit after the taper. I didn't say tie to the butt section. Rather than just cutting off an extra half foot of the leader that could have been used on a more open stream. And using a five and a half ft leader instead of 6 ft leader can make a difference with casting a 6 ft rod in tight spaces. I really enjoy the casting aspect of fly fishing so I'll do a lot to make it work if at all possible. I don't mind dappling the fly some to catch fish if I need to. However I'm not going to spend an afternoon doing it the whole time.
FG,
Believe it or not there are people that do things differently than you and catch fish. I'm just given some suggestions besides yours not in place of yours. Who knows maybe a few of the people who read it will enjoy fly fishing over tenkara style fishing on small streams like I do.
