I haven't seen this knot anywhere. It was shown to me by a Salmon
fisherman.
It is tied so the knot is on the underside of a down turned eye, and on
the
top of an upturned eye.

No idea what this is. However, it looks mighty peculiar. According to the
illustration, the line passes through the eye of the hook from left to right
and then makes a sweeping bend back to the left. The rest of the gyrations
cause the working end to cross the original running line a total of five
times, but ALL of these crosses occur above the running line.....NONE of
them below. The net result of this is that the original bend is not
involved in the knot in any way. The knot.....whatever it may be called and
whatever use it may allegedly serve.....appears to be nothing more than a
large and needlessly complicated stopper.
