Newbie question about tippet visibility:
I was trying to fish a BWO dry and emerger tandem on Valley last week.
noticed that the tippet was resting on top of the surface in a way that was "denting" the water, and would probably be VERY visible from below.
Is it right to assume that keeping the tippet near the fly free of floatant and finger grease is a pretty important thing? Is it typical to apply leader sink fluid?
Should I be trying to get the last 12" or so of tippet to sink into the water cleanly to keep it less visible?
Typing it out, seems like I may be answering my own question, but jut wondering what is common practice.
Thanks
FWIW, tippet was 7x fluoro
