Chris, I hope you catch enough to fill your belly, buddy.

What type of dry flys

Thats dinner for ya! 🎉

Winner winner chicken 🐔 dinner

I just built a leader quicker than I used to tie a blood knot! You bet! Thank you

Excellent

Not even going to watch. 10 minute video for a 15 second knot. Only in America.

Hey, fishermen, better than talking and telling stories here. It would be better if you showed it in a video and practically. But you don't, so if we don't see practice, it's just bullshit.

This has changed my life. 😂 Thank you!

This is brilliant. Subbed.

Thank you, thank you,, thank you !!!

Can you do more than eight wraps with this knot?

Great catch

I’m going out to the bridge tomorrow what should I use?

Signed up for your class on the 14th 😂

That’s sick

You are wrong it is only 60ish strength. Multiple test show rhe clinch at 90 plus.

This is amazing. Could you do a follow up on the way to add a dropper tag to the bloodknot?

Hello. I’m just wondering how far up from the hatchery is this spot. I understand if you don’t want to share but if you would be willing that would be incredible.

15 sec takes over ten minutes

Looks like fun. I leave for NNFL tomorrow morning. We are stoked!!!

Great fish, great release. Well done!

Should the brown trout caught above the fish barriers be removed for the Apache Trout's sake?

Barely getting Into fly fishing I'm not sure where that bridge is You're talking about.

Good commentary, not overdone and thorough

Greer is also a hidden gem

The hardest is braid to fluorocarbon. Dissimilar stiffness is where the difficulty comes from.

That was amazing

Would this be considered illegal because it's blocking the windshield a bit? Genuinely curious.

Brilliance at its best, folks! Thank you for sharing this nugget of gold, sir!

I think I figured out a better way, for me, to do your process. I just overlap the two pieces holding ends in either hand, and crank in the twists with a toothpick. Could be a wood match. Seems easier with the lighter lines, and I don't have to stage it between the fingers, I just grab ahold of it with both hands. Plus the toothpick keeps the hole in the middle open. Once both ends are through, I take it out. Good thing is that if I don't have a manipulator, no problem, just go back to your method.

By the way, AZ Knot sounds like "easy". Seems appropriate.

AZ knot.

So two other things bothered me about this approach. 1) it seems to waste a lot of material. But it turns out that if once the knot is formed, one holds it by the tag, and pulls on that tag's running line, the waste can be reduced to just the material that is required to seat the knot. ( and sure, I am probably the only person who cares about a few inches of line. It's Canada, and I never know where my next purchase of FF gear is going to come from...); This is a biggie. I figured that the real BK has the threads/winds in such a way that they look like a continuous wrap, it felt elegant and balanced and the only reason we are doing it this way is to make a pretty easy knot, easier. Well... After tying a half dozen knots, I think this one may lie better, in the heavy stuff, the barrel sides are straight through, and no bend, and the tags (they get cut off, of course) are straight through, not 185 on one side, and 175 on the other. I certainly don't see anything to worry about.

Oh, there is one disadvantage with this method, you have equal amounts on both sides. Most people who use this knot to build leaders realize you get a better result with dissimilar weights of material, if you have fewer wraps on the heavy side. I have seen guides tie with one wrap on the heavy side, and two on the light. I never have a reason to join similar number of wraps, or equal weight of material. In theory you could slip a wrap, but it would be like playing cat's cradle.

Brilliant. However, go the full mile. You don't have a blood knot there. On a blood knot, the line does not reverse direction at the intersection, it is like a screw with one direction all the way. Your knot is left handed on one side, and right handed on the other. So if you invented this method, and it works just as well as a blood knot, you should name it after yourself, or your dog, and have the glory.

Awesome shortcut but the strength comes from lubricating the knot. Stick it in your mouth for a second and it adds several pounds of breaking strength. Kudos!

Chii chezz

I use my forceps to tie this knot but never thought of using them to hold the hook while threading it. Excellent suggestion, thank you. A quick question. More times than not I’ll use the 16-20 knot over the clinch knot. I’ve never had any problems with either I simply like the size of the 16-20 plus the fact it clicks when tied properly as you cinch it down. What are your thoughts comparing the two knots? Thanks in advance. Wes

Excellent! Thanks

Music made me leave. .

I have a Thomas and Thomas 6'6" 3wt. 2 pc. Lps rod that I absolutely love

THE EASY AND FASTEST WAY TO TIE CLINCH KNOTS PUT FLY PUT ROCH CLIPS IE. (HEMOSTATS)ON BEND OF HOOK THREAD LINE THROUGH EYE OF HOOK PULL 5-6 IN. OF LINE PINCH STANDING AND WORKING END TOGETHER LET GO OF R-CLIPS SPIN THE CLIP WITH A FLICK OF A FINGER LIGHTLY AND COUNT HOW MANY WRAPS STOP.NOW LET GO OF STANDING LINE AND GIVE WORKING LINE A GOOD TUG (WHILE HOLDING HEMOS) TO OPEN THE LOOP AT THE EYE OF THE HOOK. MOISTEN KNOT TIGHTEN KNOT........U WILL NEVER TIE THE CLINCH KNOT ANY OTHER WAY... ESPECIALLY THE MIDGE SIZE HOOKS ! GOD BLESS CATCH AND RELEASE FLY FISHERS..........................................I GOT AHEAD OF MY SELF SHOULD HAVE WATCH ALL THE WAY THROUGH . I NEVER TOUCH MY FLIES. FROM BOX TO BEND OF HOOK TO JAWS OF CLIP TO TRIMMING TAG END. I HAVE 57 YRS F.FISHIN6 AND I CAN ALWAYS LEARN MORE............

I must admit…I’ve seen and attempted other ways of tying this knot & failed. This method, however, I have succeeded several times. Like you said it just takes practice and make sure there is plenty of line. Short lines will not work especially if one has big hands. Fortunately, I have small hands, so this method appears to be my choice. Thanks for the tutorial. 👍🏽

Wow

Can you talk about what leader/tippet setup you're using, such as length and size of each? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! 23:26

Got any stream recommendations?

What rod were you using out there please?
