I generally use and improved cinch, but I've also messed around with the
George Harvey knot for trout, and haven't had any trouble with it.

I like the Flyfisherman site, actually hit the back button and saw a few
other knots I wanted to try; the Eugene Bend. I don't do the needle knot
for a butt section to the fly-line, but thought about starting. Anyone know
the size needle to use for 5wt line? Also what size butt-line to use,
thinking it should be a diameter slightly larger than the leader.
fwiw,
