Default Tied up in knots....

If you use a piece of mono nail-knotted to the fly line and a perfection loop
at the end, practice tying the perfection loop *first* on another piece of the
same mono. Your first try will yield a very big loop. Practice getting that
loop as small as you can.

Very good point Dave .... the loops need to be small and it isn't an easy
knot to get the hang of ... besides ending up with a big loop it's very easy
to flip the know over tightening it and create a slip knot deal that won't
work ... as Dave suggests tie the loop first, the nail knot is a piece of
cake in comparison
