Forceps and Knots
 

Last year, I watched Warren whip through some knots using his forceps.
Very quick. Does anyone out there know of a webpage that shows this?

I don't know of a web page, but its not that tough. Put the fly on the
hook, and hold the standing line and the tag end together in one hand.
Put the CLOSED 'stat on top of the hook eye, in the middle of the "U" in
the line. Rotate the hemostats around the outside of the U to twist the
line 5 or 6 times (that part is hard to describe, but it works), leaving
things loose enough to be able to open the hemostats, grab the tag end, and
pull it through-- wallah!

This method is also very helpful in making a loop to attach a dropper. Go
thru the monkeymotion as described by Scott without first "putting the fly
on the hook" or line and "Wallah!" . Just don't pull the loop tight (duh!)
until you put the loop onto the bend of the fly from which your dropper
shall dangle. This is why the the Germans sometimes refer to the second fly
in such an arrangement as a dropperdangler.

the fastest fly on tippet knot I've seen tied was by one of the guys at
TroutHunter on the HFork

get the fly on the leader,
hold the standing part in one hand on one side of the fly and the tag in the
other hand and side of fly ... the tippet taut
rotate the tag between thumb and first finger the six times ( takes practice
to get the count right, but not a lot of practice )
Bring the two hands together and --viola, the fly rotates six times and you
slip the tag through the now formed loop
can be done faster than saying "tie a knot" after the fly is on the tippet

Three times around the forcep is sufficient. The reverse the direction of
rotation and do it again. It makes a surgeons' knot. Mosquito hemostats
are preferable for fly tying although it is usually done with a needle
driver in surgery.

Very different knot. I described how to tie a clinch not with hemostats,
not a surgeons knot.

Someone should make a "guides tricks" web page with all of this in photos.

I think if I tried some of these things without pictures, I'd end up in a
flourocarbon birdsnest suit that Houdini couldn't get out of.

I agree with Frank, but Warren's not actually tying knots with his
hemostats. He just wads it up in a huge tangle, pulls it tight, and trims
the tag! Seems to work. (g)

Of course you know, Herr Miller, that if both the first and second flies
are olives, what you have is a doppeldropperdangler.

It sounds as if it needs to be spit on/wet before pulling the know
tight...does it look like the leader is singed? It could also be a bad lot
of tippet, or just plain bad tippet.

How do you explain how many fish you broke off?

Paul does have a point..... G

None broke at the knot, but I agree that Paul has a point. It
probably isn't the same point that he had in mind, but I explain it
as I caught soooo many more fish than he did, that I broke off a lot
more fish than he hooked just by sheer percentages alone. BSEG

A GOOD point and one I truly hadn t considered.... You were
certainly the" KING OF THE WHITIES " on that excursion! Kudos again!
After hooking so many Rocky Mountain Bone fish you ve got to
expect to break at least a couple off....



Poor Paul, if only he had been fishing large bead head prince
nymphs like you had he might had done as well..... You could have
given him at least one!.....
