The Best Fly Fishing Knots If you do a lot of fly fishing, you're probably an expert on all the basic fly fishing knots -- and there are plenty of knots to be expert on. You need one fly fishing knot to tie your backing line to your reel spool, another to tie the fly line to the backing line, yet another knot for tying loops, another for leaders...and you haven't even gotten to the fly yet! Not surprisingly, flies require a whole secondary series of knots. All knots used for fly fishing have two basic purposes in common: not just to attach your line and your flies securely, but to help make it easier to cast those items properly to their intended targets. And as any veteran angler knows, casting a fly line properly is half the battle. Knot, or not? Face it. The fish don't care one whit whether you use a granny knot or a flawless blood knot for securing your fishing lines. They're there for the flies. However, it always pays to do things the right way, so if you're a serious fly fisherman you need to know how to tell a blood knot from a constriction knot, a perfection loop from a water knot. Learning the right knots can help your casting and can make sure you don't lose precious tackle and flies on every other cast. But where can you learn to knot the best knots?
