Knot a Lot...

Links to other fly fishing pages are found at the bottom of this page.

Find out how to tie popular fly fishing knots. Choose a fly fishing knot from the list below and you will see a series of photos showing how the knot is tied. The photos show the fly fishing knots being tied with rope rather than fishing line as this makes for easier understanding of the tying process. For similar reasons staples are used instead of hook eyes.

• The half blood knot - for tying the fly (hook) to the leader

• The double overhand loop - for making a loop

• The arbor knot - for tying the line to the reel

• The midline loop knot - for creating a loop in the middle of a line    

• More coming soon !
