Knots

[flygoddess]

Me, it is nail knot for BACKING to FLY LINE
then molded loop in end of fly line (either store bought or I make my own)
Albright Loop in mono leader, Shorb loop in Furled leaders and A Loop to Loop or hand shake connection for leader to line.
Surgeons knot to connect tippet to mono leader (clinch knot to attach tippet to small ring on furled leader)
To attach fly.......ALWAYS a surgeon's loop.

Droppers, ALWAYS a tag off the leader (attached with a surgeon's knot) in which the fly is attach with a Surgeon's Loop.
