Many anglers draw fine distinctions between colors of leaders although some prefer it just as it comes from the tackle store. There are a great many ways to dye gut, the simplest, and I believe the best, being those given many years ago by Salter: "To stain hair or gut a pale sorrel color let it remain a few minutes in a cup of strong coffee or black tea. To give it a pale slate color, mix water and black ink in equal parts and put the hair or gut in it for a moment only. For a grayish water color (mist) dissolve a little alum and indigo in boiling water, let it stand until it is cold and dip the hair or gut in it until it has acquired the tint you wish."

These worth-while directions might be added to in order to secure a greenish tint for fishing in the weeds. This can be done by using green writing fluid instead of the black, recommended above for obtaining the slate color. I do not believe in putting gut in hot solutions.
