Fishing with a buddy on the Crow, he was getting frustrated that I was getting fish after fish, and he was struggling. I look one look at his leader, and he had this pathetic little 12 inch piece of tippet dangling on it. So I asked him, "How's your tippet?". He grumbled, tied a fresh piece of tippet, and almost immediately hooked-up.

Well that's exactly why I wouldn't use just straight leader onto the fly. I think that chances of actually catching fish are diminished with that. Spend a few bucks on some good tippet material and a knot tying tool (I would refer you to the power forum on here for a quality supplier and we just so happen to have knot tying tools in stock!) and do things properly.
