I do prefer slip ons, but that's only because I'm lazy.

If you've ever seen my anchor rope or fishing lines you'll note that I can make a wide and varied assortment of knots, many of which are impossible to un-knot once fully tightened

I've tied plenty o'flies in my life, still occasionally do...they aren't even remotely as pretty as those in this thread...which, in spite of my teasing I do enjoy seeing...but thankfully the fish don't seem to mind.

Fish on...
