Thanks for the advice, never thought of using a snail or egg loop knot to tie on multiple Flys. The knot you tied is actually the improved clinch knot, which is an excellent knot
Thanks for making this video! A tip I learned a number of years ago is to tie my line from the swivel down to the weight using only 6 pound test. If it snags the bottom you only lose the weight that way. I also use 8 pound fluro for my leader and my main line is typically 8 or 10 pound as well. I don't tie 3 flies often because I fish multiple rods, but when fishing in an area with a lot of boats or fishing a hole I think this would be beneficial.
@@wisconsinoutdoorwarriors3495 I see you do the opposite with your weight (I commented before you had tied the weight on). When drifting the Wolf River there are spots where I'm just about guaranteed to get snags and if you use a much heavier line it can make it difficult to break the line. Some of those snags are unforgiving! That's why an old timer taught me to do the opposite with the weight, use light line. In areas with little to no snags or snags that are easier to get out I could see having the heavier line as being beneficial, but only if you're able to get the snags out. Otherwise you stand the chance of losing the entire rig when you have to cut your line just to get free!
Eric you are correct that it is not a Palomar. I believe its actually a clinch knot. Use your favorite fishing knot and you'll be good to go. The Snell knot is the important one

Glad it was helpful! Yeah i got the names mixed up haha
I use 4 lb to drop weight. If snagged up. Break off is easy. Then tie only new weight on. Saves flies.

That's very true. I only use this tactic in areas with minimal snags. But what your saying makes complete sense for high snag areas.
Thanks for showing brother
No problem 👍
Informative video! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff
Is this method great if I am going 20 to 39 ft deep? Thanks
Yes, absolutely
Are you trolling or whipping with these flies?
Lightly trolling into current typically.
That’s a trilene knot. It is not a palomar

True fly rigs no minnows. Lol
