On knots: He no longer fishes the improved clinch to attach fly to tippet.
He has gone to the slip knot
http://www.graysofkilsyth.com/fishing.htm#Slip%20Knot 3 turns for 5 lb
test or over, 5 turns for under 5 lb test.

Looks a lot like a knot he recommends in the September 2004 issue of
Fly Fisherman mag, which arrived yesterday. There, he calls it the
"fisherman's knot" or "16-20" knot.

Good grief, is it September already? (I know mags are dated ahead,
but this is ridiculous!)
