The clever MUST know knots for fly fishing! Work smart, not hard!

The three knots I wish somebody showed me when I started fly fishing! So easy to do, with or without forceps! Work smarter, not harder!

Ive struggled with the surgeon knot. Well, before now that is. Ill have to try this. Im left handed, and for some reason, knot tying is a challenge with every video. The hemostat is brilliant. Would have never thought.

[@sameochannel7637]

Its SO much easier...and since its easy, I tend to change tippet and adapt the length of the leader to make the fly move better and , that gives me fish!! :) All the best! //Ken

[@davidbundesen5867]

Excellent tutorial on fishing knots. Love the idea of using the forceps

[@-_-_-....]

I use this for bobber fishing and use it as a stopper knot, so the bobber can hang low with the leader to cast better, when it is in the water the bait and weight sinks causing the line to slip through the bobber and stop on it. Makes you able to fish at a depth of let's say 12ft meters, while using a 7 ft rod. 👍

My weakness is knot tying. This is a game changer for me as I have very dry and fat fingers. You are a champion. 🏆🏆 thanks.

[@sameochannel7637]

Thank you

[@franklinroth3844]

First time I saw anyone tie knots with a hemostat was in an emergency room, this when I was in college in the '60s. While building the body of a bass guitar, my friend had cut his hand with a gouge. The ER doc made 20 perfect stitches with black silk in about two minutes using a hemostat. I nearly passed out while my friend watched-never forgot. The hemostat - way to go.

So glad I could help out! :) It makes my fly fishing SO easy...and better! I am a lazy bum by nature and before I struggled with my knots...and of course didnt extend and perfect the length and tippetsize on my leaders... Now it is so easy to adapt the perfect tippet size and length...so in the end I now catch more fish! :D

Tnx mate :) Its a real life saver :) so quick and easy :) I been doing this for at least 15 years and Its not saving just the hustle and time, I catch more fish since I dont drag out with changing tippet So the leader is perfect for the fly at all time :)

That is by far the simplest explanation for these knots!

[@sameochannel7637]

yeah, I struggled with the surgeon knot many years, and now its such a piece of cake I dont mind fixing the leader to match the size of the flies...so I actually fish much better, just becouse of this simple method :) 10 minutes of practice and you never go back :)

[@Transblucency]

OK, this was an awesome tutorial. I have been tying these knots for years, but I had never considered using forceps to tie them out. I did some dry runs and all three knots are both faster, cleaner and more efficient. Better knots while helping to get me out faster on the water. Thank you so much for this!

[@narwhalsintheocean9745]

Needle knot/leader knot is the same as a nail knot in my book.

Hi Ken, I think this video is excellent and it’s helped me immensely. I was wondering if you had a similar forceps technique to tie a loop knot? Many Thanks Joe

[@sameochannel7637]

Hi Joe! Thanks for your kind words :) You know, I actually got a tool from a student I had in a casting class just a couple of weeks ago!! It seems that many competition anglers use it to tie loops! Works really good!! Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3yoqmqJnt9_pLs

[@joeporta1656]

Hi Ken, I worked that loop knot out. I tie the fly onto the dropper line first of all using your second knot (it works perfectly as a loop knot obviously) and then I use the same knot to attach the dropper to the main leader line. Many Thanks Joe 👍
