The Clinch Knot
|
Insert 6" to 8" of tippet through eye of hook. |
|
Hold fly in left hand and with right hand wind the end of the leader around standing part of leader five times, keeping a small loop immediately adjacent to hook eye open. This loop is easy to keep open if you pinch it between thumb and forefinger of left hand. |
|
Bring tag end of leader back through loop next to the hook eye and grasp with thumb and forefinger of left hand. |
|
Lubricate and tighten by pulling the standing part of leader and the fly in opposite directions. Do not pull on the tag end of the leader - merely hold it alongside the fly. Trim tag end close to knot. |
