What do you fellas think is the best way to tie your fly on to your tippet?

These are the only Knots I use.

• Turle Knot
• Polamar Knot
• Surgeons Knot
• Nail Knot
• Blood Knot

Lefty's mono loop

For fly to tippet; Duncan loop or Clinch knot

Best is probably a clinch or Palomar knot. I don't use either one. I've always used a double Turle to bend the fly to tippet, since it has about the same strength as the blood knot that joins the tippet to the next larger diameter leader section. The clinch and other stronger knots don't seem relevant, since they would invariably cause the tippet to break at the blood knot. I hate having to tie on a new tippet every time I lose a fly.

Bait loop :p

I use the Weaver Knot. But if my hands are shaking I use the improved cinch knot.

So many to chose from, thanks.

On the blood knot......I hate tying that bugger on the river.
