[quote fsh4fun05]What is the best knot to tie on a small fly?[/quote]
I just learned and used the Davy Knot. Really quick to tie and saves on tippet too.

I also will use the Duncan knot if I want the tiny fly to have some action when I am using a bigger than desired tippet.

By the way, the Duncan is also useful to use when you want to attach a dropper. Tie this to the hook bend of the top fly and it will allow for quicker change of the top fly without having to retie the dropper setup. This is because the Duncan is adjustable so you can loosen it when you want to switch.
