The George Harvey formula has set the standard in dry fly leaders for years now. This is the modern formula that he published in a Fly Fisherman Magazine article in the year 2000. This one features Maxima Ultragreen the whole way, making for a much more limp butt and mid section. He stated in the article that he much preferred this over the original formula and we tend to agree. Since it was only published in the magazine, many folks did not, or still do not realize that he changed his tune on this. Some folks though do still like the original formula and of course....that's cool. That's why we offer both!!!

* Due to the limp butt sections on these, we prefer these versions for 3wt, 4wt and 5wt rods.

Here is the "modern" formula:

20" of .015" Ultragreen
20" of .013" Ultragreen
20" of .012" Ultragreen
12" of .010" Ultragreen
12" of .009" Ultragreen
18" of .008" Ultragreen

30" of .007" (4X) / .006" (5X) / .005" (6X) Ultragreen

These leaders are hand tied right here in Columbus, Ohio. They are 11' and come with tippet attached and ready to go. They do feature a perfection loop on the butt end.
