4 KNOTS You Should Know A QuickTime Video Seminar by Gary and Jason Borger

1

Improved Clinch Knot The improved clinch knot is one of the most common ways to attach a fly to the leader. It is weaker than most other fly-to-tippet knots, but has enough strength to land most fish in most situations. Use this knot to attach a small diameter tippet to a heavy wire hook, or when you want a small knot size.

Nonslip Loop Use this knot to attach the fly to your tippet when you want a loop that allows the fly to move freely. It gives streamers, nymphs, and popping bugs a deadly action. Don't use the nonslip loop knot on dry flies or on hooks smaller than a #12.

George Harvey Dry-Fly Knot Use this knot on dry flies with up- or down-turned hook eyes. It's very strong and does not allow the fly to cant to one side or the other.

Speed Nail Knot Use this knot to tie your leader (or connector section) to the fly line, or your backing to the fly line. It requires no tools and if done properly will not come undone.
