After receiving such a great response to my question on hand made
leaders I thought I'd ask another question: What knot do you use to tie
your fly to the leader? I have always used either an improved clinch or
a palomar knot, but it has been suggested that I use a turle knot or run
the line through the eye and tie a loop allowing the fly more natural
action.


When you mentioned a more natural action of a fly, you may also want to
consider the "Duncan Loop or Uni-Knot" It works best for subsurface flies,
gives it that swim action. I like using the Duncan loop for the soft hackle
wooly worm.
