A "uni-knot" will do as well as a nailknot.

Particularly the line to line section -- While it speaks of a double
uni-knot you need only tie a single one around your fly line with the
backing of course.

Another trick I have since learned is that if you use a single
uni-knot as you suggest, it will be stronger if you tie a simple
overhand knot in the side which does not get the uni-knot and run the
other line through the middle of it.

I've had this tool which I think I bought from Cabelas a while ago and
I finally found the directions for it. It makes tying a double
uni-knot really easy as it holds the two lines in place while tie the
double. It looks like three nails in a row with the center one
longer. You put the two lines between 1 and 2 and 3 and 2 with about
1/4" between them and about 4" sticking out.
