On the flats a longer leader of 10 to 12 feet with light tippet in the 8 lbs to 16 lbs range can be helpful to hide your fly line and avoid spooking fish

Conversely, when fishing floating lines and sinking flies, adjust leader length to the depth you want to fish, figuring at least 1.5 times the water depth for leader length (meaning if you want to fish 6 feet of water, you need at least 9 feet of leader.) When fishing surface flies the common leader lengths are 7'6 and 9' which basically equate to the average rod lengths
