Loop Knot – a must have for Streamer Fly Fishing

Hey guys one of the questions that i get asked quite a bit is what knots i use  to tie my leader directly to my fly  I’m in this case my fly happens to be a laser legal it’s one of my favorite color combos  but in order to show you the knot itself I’m going to use some 15 pound amnesia which of course is  way too large and i would never use chartreuse but for this video it’s easy to show up on the  black background and so what I’m going to do is I’m going to start by creating a overhand knot so just a granny knot so there we go and now what I’m going to do is I’m going to feed the point of  the leader material up through the bottom of the fly itself just getting everything into position  and next.

I’m going to take the tag end and I’m going to go right through the granny knot  and what you’ll see there is that this gap that section right here is what will actually become  your loop itself and in order to help get everything into position I’m going to pinch  to the left and I’m going to grab to the right of the granny knot and.

I’m going to pull tight  it just cinches that granny knot down you can see it gets nice and small there which is perfect  and now when i grab that tag end and i pull it and i let go it stays in position if it’s too small  i can grab a hold of the leader end and i can pull back on it you can see i can make that loop larger  or smaller by grabbing either the tag or the leader end so the loop is about the size that  i like it i like it to be about an eighth of an inch in length itself I’m going to grab  right ahold of where that granny knot is now i have my tag end right here and I’m going to go  up and over the leader so.

I’m going to create a space here and.

I’m going to go up and over and through that hole once and I’m going to go back through there twice, so I’ve created the loop I’m basically doing a double granny here and now what.

I’m going to do is I’m going to pull back towards the fly so in my right hand.

I’ve got the leader in my left hand I’m pulling back towards the fly maintaining  the same size of the loop itself and typically I’d uh you know spit on that today I’m not going to  do that and I’m just going to pull tight with the leader end and watch how nice that cinch is down see how nice and tight that is the size you get that nice beautiful loop in there  and then it’s very easy to come in trim it off nice and tight  and you have a very nice way to articulate your fly you can see how nice and compact that loop is  it helps to drop your fly quickly it helps to aid with um manipulation and you know ultimately  the articulation of your fly itself so very simple loop knot hope that helps you out see ya.
