What is a Leader?
Great question, A leader is used to connect the fly line to the fly, ensuring the fly is presented to fish in a way that resembles the movements of the actual insect the fly is imitating.
What are differences between the leaders?
Here are the specific leader dimensions.
What is a Tippet?
A tippet is a piece of specialized line connected to the leader that helps in the fly presentation to fish, making sure the fly turns over during the cast to simulate the real insect it is imitating.

What is a Fly?
A fly is an artificial lure that is made typically out of fur, feathers, and perhaps synthetic materials. These materials are tied to a hook to imitate the size, shape, and color of the food form that the fish is feeding upon. Some are also tied in an attempt to trigger a predatory response from the fish. Originally (and still in the UK) the description of fly was only used to describe an imitation of an insect. In the US and many other parts of the world, that definition has been expanded to generally describe any imitation fished with a fly rod including imitations of other fish. In the UK, flies that are tied to imitate fish as opposed to insects are known as lures.
