What knot do you use to tie
your fly to the leader?



Pitzen Knot


Larry, thanks for bringing the name of Pitzen up. For the life of me, I
couldn't remember the name of that knot. Heard it was a good knot to tie the
fly to the tippet. I just looked it up in search, the knot named after the
German angler Edgar Pitzenbauer...said to be 20% stronger than the clinch.

Speaking of knots, anyone use knot-sense? I've seen this in the fly-shops,
even read the instructions, but never used it. They even have an
ultraviolet light which cures the knot-sense solution faster.
