Fly Fishing Knots and Knot Tying.

In recent times, fly fishing has earned the status of a real sport. It is different in many ways from conventional fishing. There are quite a few choices to be made regarding the equipment you will use, depending on, the weather, the water depth, the current, the kind of fish you're after and so on. Also, you will need to master several different tactics to become successful in fly fishing. For instance, there are many different types of  knot which can be used in fly fishing and it’s important to choose the right knot for each application. It’s even more important to tie it correctly and securely.  

Always test your fly fishing knots before you use them. It's also a good idea is to lubricate a knot with water or saliva before tightening. This willgive you a much more secure knot. If the knots are not fully tightened you may end up with fish escaping, sometimes along with your fly and leader. When a knot shows sign of wear and tear it needs to be replaced. It is quite disheartening to see a big trophy fish escaping and swimming away because of a loosely tied knot.  

You do not need to master every type of fly fishing knot. A few fairly basic ones can serve you well. Once you are comfortable with a particular type of knot then you should stick to it. You could search the Internet and find hundreds of fly fishing knots. But which of these should you choose? Which are the easiest to tie?
