fly snaps and losing flys?

[kngfish]

[size 2]Does anyone actually use snaps for fly fishing I noticed them recently and didn’t know if I have been missing out this whole time or if they really are not worth it?

I’m guessing you know what im talking about when I say Snaps?

Also while I’m posting I might as well ask-

Why am I losing so many fly’s I have switched to any where from 4x to sometimes 2x tippet and I still seem to lose more then I would like.

Polymer knot or fishermans knot? Polymer seems to be holding up a bit better but still does anyone have any suggestions.

I baby the line when I have a fish on and use all the finesse a man a has, and still.
The fish I tend to play with mostly are any where from 18 to 22 inches, wild brown trout with a fat girth but I couldn’t tell you a weight.

Look forward to your replies.[/size]
