Hi I have been teaching myself to flyfish over the last 3 months and have had great success  I have been using scierra tactical Tippet  as my leader I know tippets ment to attach to leader line  but I haven't had a problem with just Tippet to the braided loop is it ok just to use Tippet

Welcome to the forum 'Flyguy' :z16

Yes, it is fine to use level tippet when you are learning, You will find in the future that using a tapered leader in between your fly line and tippet will give you better presentation.

Hope you enjoy a great season in 2016, lots to learn and much fun to have :cool:

Best wishes
