How do I choose a tippet?
In general, choose the heavier size if the water is dirty, if it’s windy, or if the fish are unusually strong.

What size flies for 3X tippet?
The guideline for sizing tippet to fly is the Rule of 4. I use a size 12 fly to demonstrate this rule. If you take a size 12 fly, and divide it by 4, you get 3, so for a size 12 fly, use a 3X tippet. If you choose a size 16 fly, then divide by 4, and get 4X tippet.
