I have a Wyncwood River and Stream 6' #2 and I fish for wild brown trout.
This is about my eighth season fishing the trout rivers in the UK.
But its the first season that I have really started paying attention to hatches and such and now I am concentrating on tippet materials.
If I was to catch a trout of over 1LB it would be unusual and if it was to reach 2LB it would be in the club records.
So I am asking what leader would you use, I am not worried about brand, because I always use Orvis equipment.
Would it be 5X or 6X ?? and how long would it be, its a 6' rod but the water is very clear. And I will be dry fly fishing.
Thanks in advance.
Nylon, Copolymer, Fluorocarbon?

I have ordered some furled leaders which are 3' long, then I can add tippet on to that.
I have never used them before but they are recommended by many over here.
We will see how it goes.
Eyesight, I can tie on a 14 while standing in a river, smaler than that I would have to get the magnifiers on.
