    Incredible tutorial - calming and reassuring, Mr. Rogers could do no better and that's meant as a compliment. Watch this after a stressful day at work (super stressful day, add some bourbon) and you will be totally calm and relaxed at the end.

    For my nail knots, I always put on some kind of glue to strengthen the knot and help it run through the guides smother. It really helps me!

    • @michaelhazzard4901
      @michaelhazzard4901 3 года назад

      You should always test the kind of glue that you're planning to use on an old piece of line both of monofilament and the fly line and the backing to make sure that the glue does not melt any of the fishing lines as this will weaken the rig and cause a break off

      For a start a nail knot isnt required to attach the fly line to backing -overly complicated.

    EXCELLENT! One of the very few of these guys who sticks to the point. (No waste of time listening to him bask in the sound of his own voice.) It would have been better if he gave some advice about How Much backing and Line to use.

    Thanks for cutting off the loops ! Fly fishers should unit at fly fishing is not to be rushed . Learn the important knots . Needle and nail knots are easy with a bit of practice . If your in such a rush to hit the water ……. Maybe give spin cast / bait casting a try .
