[black][size 3]When you tie the nail knot, don't touch the fly line except to hold the knot in place. To tighten the knot, pull on both ends of the leader material.[/size][/black]

[size 3]This will plull the knot tight, almost cutting into the fly line covering (some lines).[/size]

[size 3]To tie the nail knot, I use the plastic tube of a Q-tip with the ends cut off. Having these laying around, and in my fishing equipment, there is always one handy.[/size]

[size 3]Keep working on the nail or needle knot, you'll get it. You won't regret learning to tie it.[/size]
