There are many knots that you could learn as a fly fishing junkie; however, most of the time only a few knots are really necessary. The following videos will help you learn how to tie some of the most useful knots.

Typically used at the butt end of a leader prior to making a loop-to-loop connection.

Typically used to connect a leader to a fly line — loop to loop.

Typically used to tie two heavier sections of mono together in a leader. It is also called a barrel knot.

A great knot to attach a fly that you want to have more movement as it "swims". This is a very strong knot.

Typically, a double surgeon is used to tie on a replacement tippet section to your leader.

An improved clinch knot is widely used to tie on a fly; or, to tie on a second section of tippet material for a two fly set up. This knot has many uses and is stronger than a standard Clinch Knot.

This knot is used to tie together two widely different sizes of mono together in a leader.

The Lillian is the small "string" that's attached to the Tenkara rod tip (animated color red in the video). After tying the initial overhand knot in the Lillian, attach the Level line to the Lillian using this knot. This Level line knot is placed behind the overhand knot on the Lillian. Pull tight.
