Last year, I watched Warren whip through some knots using his forceps.
Very quick. Does anyone out there know of a webpage that shows this?

I don't know of a web page, but its not that tough. Put the fly on the
hook, and hold the standing line and the tag end together in one hand.
Put the CLOSED 'stat on top of the hook eye, in the middle of the "U" in
the line. Rotate the hemostats around the outside of the U to twist the
line 5 or 6 times (that part is hard to describe, but it works), leaving
things loose enough to be able to open the hemostats, grab the tag end,
and
pull it through-- wallah!

This method is also very helpful in making a loop to attach a dropper. Go
thru the monkeymotion as described by Scott without first "putting the fly
on the hook" or line and "Wallah!" . Just don't pull the loop tight (duh!)
until you put the loop onto the bend of the fly from which your dropper
shall dangle. This is why the the Germans sometimes refer to the second fly
in such an arrangement as a dropperdangler.

Who IS this Wallah character?.........
