Fly Fishing Knots And Rigs Leaders

When learning how to fly fish, the special knots you need to be successful are sometimes difficult to master. And for many anglers, when a leader breaks out on the stream or you need to add a new tippet to your leader, it's almost impossible to remember how to tie the best knot. This Pocket Guide is the perfect tool for you to carry in your fly vest whenever you're out on the water. Included are easy-to-understand illustrations for making sure your backing, fly line, leader and tippet will not fail when you're fighting the fish of a lifetime.

Every fly fisher knows how crucial leader construction and knot tying are. But with continual changes in line technology, what served as effective leader and tippet connections a decade ago might not be optimal now. By updating the original Orvis Streamside Guide to Leaders, Knots, and Tippets, this handy take-along book addresses the technical issues surrounding leaders and connections in relation to state-of-the-art line materials and types, and details the best overall knots for fly-line connections. Staying connected to the fish just got easier!
