Ok, just got my gear. New to Tenkara, fly fishing, and actually haven't fished for over 30 years. Knots for some reason take me a while. So I watched many videos and yours was the best. Giving the hand technique up close was the key and you could actually see the loops going over or under. This is how you do a tutorial. The others I watched, by masters, seem to not realize that their aim was to people that never tied the knots. I will be watching this video over and over until muscle memory kicks in. And slowing it to 25% on the Davy knot Level line to fly solved the only hiccup I had.
That's actually a double Davy knot. The Davy knot only loops around itself once and is good for tying on flies with small hook sizes. The Double Davy is good for tying large flies and lures. Both are excellent. I exclusively use the Davy and have for years. Never had one slip or come untied. The tippet will break long before then. If you tie the single Davy be sure the tag end winds up 90º to the leader line. The leader goes straight into the eye of the hook and the tag comes out 90º to the eye. Thanks for posting. Great instruction.
I love the simplicity of these knots. This will save me a lot of time out on the water! Thank you!

Thanks! Your demonstration was easier to follow than the one on the TenkaraUSA web site.
It's good of you to teach using larger visible lines. TY
Great video on knot tying. I like the way you used over sized line and rings to do your knot presentations. Thanks!!!
Happy to have been of help.
Magnifica explicación de los nudos: Great job!
