Re: What knot do you tie your fly on with?

Really easy for mr now. Thread fly, make a loop in tippet and tag, pass through loop twice. Then I stick the eye of the hook right in the middle of the loop and tighten slowly. This makes for a nice small loop. It does waiste an inch or so of tippet, but I got it down to where I can do it blind folded and very little waist. The trick is to keep the loop small, so it doesn't create a wake of it's own.
