Winter is a perfect time to refresh fly fishing knowledge. We have prepared a selection of knots for you, without which you simply can not go out. Perhaps you already know them, but it is always useful to refresh the memory.

The whole fly line consists of a backing, a mainline, a leader and a tippet. We put a fly on the tippet, so the knots we use for this purpose are attaching knots, and all the others are for joining two lines together. Below are some useful knots. It will pay off to every fisherman if he knows them.

Davy knot – medium strong knot, suitable for extremely small flies, especially dry flies and fine nymphs.
