Having a problem with my dry flies dropping below the surface. I used a perfection knot and i did apply floatant to the fly and the line can the knot i used be to heavy
I know I'm late to the party but....this was sooooo SOOOO much better than the loop to loop connection I use a paper clip for my stiffener and literally in 30 seconds had a new tapered leader.. now leaders are a non issue in the field.. thank you for this!
thank you for this knot ! I've bought my first fly fishing set, and the Fly line as well the Fly leader both didn't have loops. I've spent around 5 hours trying to tie them together, finally, after hours I was able to tie them with your knot ! Thank you so much for this video !
Woo-Hoo!!! I've been messing with a Tie-Fast Knot Tyer for years. For me, it's been a crap shoot. I have spent a LOT of time fiddling with those knots and starting over. With this, first try was as "smooth as butter". Thanks!
Thank you for the help. I bass fish a lot but had been wanting to fly fish. So i got a gift card to bass pro and got a really nice combo for 125$ off. Your videos help a lot!
Excellent video. I have just used it to attach a tapered 12 foot trout leader that was threaded through the tip of the fly line to make a connection similar to the classic needle knot - and it worked wonders, even with the long and thin leader section I had to handle.
I’m a traditional fly fisher , haven’t fished in years but I’m back at it now. Fairly almost forgot how to tie some of the knots? Just weren’t exactly sure, this really helped. Thanks.
Excellent video. I've worked out both ways to tie it, and I believe the end result is identical to the 'nail knot'. This is however a much easier way to tie it neatly and I like that it doesn't require a special tool that I can never seem to find :-)
Old dyslexic me actually tied my leader onto my fly line using this knot. Also saw your vid about this knot with Flip. Thanks. I cut off the loop, lol.
Great teaching video on this knot. Just starting out in fly fishing and i'll be incorporating this knot moving forward. I also watched your series on flycasting. Great stuff! If any of you haven't watched that series yet and need some help on your casting, i highly recommend it.
Great instructional the knot lasts and lasts so much so that each time I have to do one I have to come back to your video as I have forgotten how since I last did one. Today it was a commercially made slip on loop that failed way out in a backcountry lake meaning I had to switch to spinning. 7 trout between 2 and 4 lb of which 2 spinning and the fish were taking my new design of cicada flies wish I could have fly fished all day.
Hi Brian, I'm pretty sure that 'Lather's Wire' is what in Canada we'd call Rebar wire. It's for tying the steel (rebar) in concrete together before a pour. Thanks for the great videos, I've learned a lot from you. Big fan of your work.
Terrific instruction. I screwed up my first attempt as the leader was too short. I nailed, no pun intended, the second attempt and the third one. A short piece of stiff coat hanger works well as the "nail". Thanks!
So freaking simple. I got away from fly fishing for years and forgot how to do some of these things. I really enjoy your videos and guests, especially the no BS approach to doing these things.
Thaks i learning a lot from you man good man . Tomorrow I'm headting back down to the mid Limay to the Patagonian Argentina go brown trout well see thanks for you help
Your channel had been so helpful. I was surprised with a fly rod for Christmas and I'm itching to get it and learn just waiting for this Cleveland weather to turn!
For the last 12 to 15 years I've been using a slight variation of this that's called the needle knot. I was taught to me by Gary Sandstom, the owner of The Morning Hatch Fly Shop. Unfortunately Gary was forced to close this several years ago.😔 The needle knot uses a very small needle to make hole up through the center of the fly line for about 1 inch. Then I use a snell knot to permanently attach it to the fly line. I love this knot because there's no bump from the end of the fly line like you see with the nail knot. I really dislike that little bump as it goes through my guides when I'm landing a fish. I suppose I could use your snell knot and add just a very small amount of thick UV resin to smooth out that bump
Thanks, MRO. My son was practicing casting in the yard without a leader on his line and he damaged the loop. I installed a new leader, minus the factory loop with your method. Works great
Thanks for making life so much easier lol cheers l do like this knot especially since l am getting older and a easier knot when your eye sight goes lol
As always an other great video. Very clear. I will try it because I understood also the clear explanation of Plip Pilot in an other video. Thank you very much
Just happened upon this video from a few years back. I was wondering if there is one where you tie up some of the leaders that you spoke about? Thanks in advance! Love the content. 🎣
@ I’ve seen several, but the one’s I’m interested in building don’t seem to be here. I want to see how you guys build a non-contact dry fly leader vs. a non-contact nymph leader.
Thank you for this video. It has helped me out A LOT. It was very confusing at first. After I watched it about five times and practiced with a non important piece of fishing string I mastered it! All thanks to you!
Thank you for this.This is the best way for me. I use an Allen Wrench from a Yakima rack and it performs nicely as a stiffener. They are everywhere in your tool kits too.
@@Madriveroutfitters Question: Do you ever do an Albright knot to connect leader to fly? It's not on youtube anywhere. Seems like a solid connection...
I used a nail not back in my day, but that is pretty slick. That is a perfect connection. Looks so much easier to tie too. I used a the red plastic tubes from a WD-40 can to tie my knots; cant pull on my denters like that thou, but I still know mermaids.....
Brian, have you ever seen a lathed wall? The lathe is the 1/4' thick X 2" wood strips that are wired together. Plaster or cement is held in place by the wired strips of wood. Sound familiar now? : )
Sometimes I like having a little "fun" with big box store fishing staff... I'll wander into the fishing section and zero in on one of the 20 year old guppies working that counter, and then with a dead serious face tell them "Take me to your _leader!"_ and THEN watch the cogs behind their eyes skip or break a few teeth while they try to process that! - "My what???" 😁😅 "You DO sell fishing line here right?"😂
Great technique. I might have missed it in the comments but if you are setting up for tarpon or GT, how many wraps and what strength butt section do you recommend.
I’m working with tapered leader. Is it the thin end of the leader that gets wrapped around 7-10 times? Or, is it the thick end that gets wrapped. It seems to me like the thick end should be wrapped so that the thickest end is knotted to the thick fly line. This one has thrown me for a loop (pun intended)! Thank you for your help! Beginner fly fisher here!
Please send your questions directly to Brian at the shop and he’ll be happy to help. You can email him or call him. He doesn’t monitor here but of course does there every day. Thanks!
I know that this knot has worked for you for many years, but I was wondering if the knot would slip at all because there's nothing to stop the line from sliding through (as opposed to something like a double uni where one knot is stopped by the other knot). I don't know if that made much sense, but I would appreciate it to get your thoughts on this. Thanks, Brian!
This is so helpfull. Hope you can help with one question. The diameter of the flyline and the diameter of the leader/butt are they supposed to be the same? Thanks a lot….
I'm assuming if you are building a leader, you do this with the butt section prior to adding on the mid and tippet, as those knots wouldn't pull through?
I am struggling with this a lot, I am getting a loop forming on the back end along with the tag end that I’m supposed to pull on to tighten, but that isn’t shown in the video, what happens to that loop? Is it covered up when you wrap the line?
ristics4 Nail knot for attaching leader to fly line or backing to fly line only. Surgeons or blood knot for mono to mono. E-mail or call the shop if any further questions.
Love the videos, in fact all your series. I've tied the mono loop to my fly line with the nail knot and added the perfection loop. I then connected the leader loop to the perfection loop as per you other video (correctly). However there seems to be some play, 1/8 inch in the loops. I wonder how or if this will impact setting the hook. Can't wait for the store to come online again, I need a 9' 5wt 😉 for my son. I did get a small order in just before you guys went offline. THANKS for getting it to me. Be safe - stay healthy.
IMO The albright tied through the welded loop is much easier and every bit as effective as the nail knot. No need for tools, no need to cut off the welded loop.
Since you did mention that the butt section would be there for a loooong time. Once the butt section is tied on, how do you connect your leader and then change out leaders with that setup?
I used a nail knot - didn't know about this version of it. Is a nail knot still fine for attaching a leader to fly line? I used the surgeons knot to attach tippet to leader.
I love that fly reel color combination The colors definitely pop out, I have friends that say they could care less what color their fly line is and that's fine to each their own but I like a little style and color and taste of my own on my reel. "QWESTEN" I noticed you have that yellow handle on most of your reels is that a custom handle or is that specific to that model?
With this method you would rarely if ever change the leader. The butt section will remain constant and you will change mid sections and tippets. Hope that helps.
@@Madriveroutfitters you guys are the best! thank you for the fast response! and yes i'll definetly make sure not to cut the loop unless i want to learn how to tie a furled leader too haha.
let me ask / back 50 or so years ago . did they have the line we do today or did they have a 1 basic line and used that for both dry and wet flies??. they where more frugal back then as what we are now as a people in America .
And sometimes the knot will dig into the fly line also. Some super glue or Hard As Nails will seal any cracks in the fly line where the knot digs into it. Just a thought...
Hey there! Nice channel, good advices! On this knot now, I’ve tried it before, but 1. I was unable every time to remove the wire without messing the knot and 2. I realized that it usually sinks the coils of the leader into the fly line’s outer layer, messing it up I found that the Albright knot works better...I’m using Albright knot to make leaders from ever decreasing diameter of mono (tapering it). Yet I dislike the knots bulkiness. Would you recommend those knots for #3-5, or you would go for loops? Regards!
Would an FG knot work for this? It's very similar to nail but I've only seen FG for braided line to mono. Same idea though, main line gripping leader line.
"Lathers build structural frameworks for plaster and other materials, creating such wonders as theme park attractions and ornamental ceilings. While lathers once worked with wooden strips called lath, they now mostly employ _wire_ and metal mesh to create structures of various shapes."

Here you go: www.madriveroutfitters.com/m-45-clic-goggle.aspx
I've seen these magnetic glasses all over Latin America. Never have been able to find any in the USA.
so, if using a tapered leader you'd use the tippit end and pull that out??? or, use a short piece of 1X then tie the tapered leader to that??
Mike Dameron Yes, you would pull the tippet out. IX would be WAY too thin to use as a connector.
I’m working with tapered leader. Is it the thin end of the leader that gets wrapped around 7-10 times? Or, is it the thick end that gets wrapped. It seems to me like the thick end should be wrapped so that the thickest end is knotted to the thick fly line. This one has thrown me for a loop (pun intended)! Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the vid-why should I use a nail knot before a surgeons knot when attaching two ends of two different lines?
ristics4 Nail knot for attaching leader to fly line or backing to fly line only. Surgeons or blood knot for mono to mono. E-mail or call the shop if any further questions.
Love the videos, in fact all your series. I've tied the mono loop to my fly line with the nail knot and added the perfection loop. I then connected the leader loop to the perfection loop as per you other video (correctly). However there seems to be some play, 1/8 inch in the loops.

IMO The albright tied through the welded loop is much easier and every bit as effective as the nail knot. No need for tools, no need to cut off the welded loop.
But over twice as heavy and bulky....that's the problem and the point. Thanks for watching though.
Thanks! great Tutorial! You have great pliers! what brand are they?
Thanks for watching. Not sure exactly but he is usually using his Manely Pliers.
I've been using this method to cut off the loops on my leaders and attach them this way. Is that fine?
As stated, yes. Thanks for watching.
Since you did mention that the butt section would be there for a loooong time. Once the butt section is tied on, how do you connect your leader and then change out leaders with that setup?
Nail knots to the mid sections and tippet. With this system there is no need to "change out" leaders. Stay tuned though as much more to come on this.
Lathers use wire to build structural frameworks for plaster, stucco, and other materials, to create lath.
Thanks for sharing. We pretty much use paperclips these days though.
I used a nail knot - didn't know about this version of it. Is a nail knot still fine for attaching a leader to fly line? I used the surgeons knot to attach tippet to leader.
Yes, a nail knot does the same thing. Thanks for watching.

Strong enough for anything!
very good, thank you very much, but I have a doubt since every time the leader changes I have to cut a piece of the line ... 🤔 Best regards from 🇨🇱
With this method you would rarely if ever change the leader. The butt section will remain constant and you will change mid sections and tippets. Hope that helps.
Should you put glue on the fly line after you cut it? Heard people say water gets in and makes sink?
Not necessary. As Flip says, this knot seals it up tight. You can if you want though.
@@Madriveroutfitters Appreciate it, love the videos here from CO. Cheers
Does that knot run through the top guide or guides smoothly when dry flying
Yes. Like butter.
Can I use this same knot to tie a furled threaded leader to my fly line?
Yes. You can. Just make sure you don't cut the loop before you tie the knot.
@@Madriveroutfitters you guys are the best! thank you for the fast response! and yes i'll definetly make sure not to cut the loop unless i want to learn how to tie a furled leader too haha.

Sounds like a great question for the shop. Send over to them at admin@madriveroutfitters.com and they will answer you there.
What are your thoughts on adding a drop of superglue, like the bass guys used to when tying knots with superline?
You can but usually not needed if you tie a good knot.
And sometimes the knot will dig into the fly line also. Some super glue or Hard As Nails will seal any cracks in the fly line where the knot digs into it. Just a thought...
Hey there! Nice channel, good advices!
On this knot now, I’ve tried it before, but 1. I was unable every time to remove the wire without messing the knot and 2. I realized that it usually sinks the coils of the leader into the fly line’s outer layer, messing it up
I found that the Albright knot works better...I’m using Albright knot to make leaders from ever decreasing diameter of mono (tapering it).
Yet I dislike the knots bulkiness.
Would you recommend those knots for #3-5, or you would go for loops?
Regards!
Andrei Ocneanu We use this knot to attach to line and blood knots for the rest.
You actually WANT it to dig into the coating on the fly line. That's how it grabs and holds tight.
Has your book . On the end of the line come out yet?
It has not.
Just curious what type of fly line is that. It's hard to find brighter colors like that.
Mike Crook Flip Sight Line by Cortland. www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-14733-cortland-hi-vis-flip-pallot-fly-line.aspx
Ive searched for the "The end of the line" book you've mentioned and i cant find it.
Stay tuned.....
Use a piece of wire coat hanger to make your snelling tool?
A straightened paperclip works extremely well also.
Would an FG knot work for this? It's very similar to nail but I've only seen FG for braided line to mono. Same idea though, main line gripping leader line.
Jason Clark Not familiar sorry.
I don't think it would because the fly line is so thick it would not dig into the flurocarbon as is needed with an fg knot
"Lathers build structural frameworks for plaster and other materials, creating such wonders as theme park attractions and ornamental ceilings. While lathers once worked with wooden strips called lath, they now mostly employ _wire_ and metal mesh to create structures of various shapes."
Thanks for sharing!
What type of pliers/cutter was Brian using in this video ? Thanks
