My above statement still applies. Sometimes you let it sit, sometimes you strip it in fast, sometimes you creep it in.

Donger, go to the library and check out a book on fly fishing basics.

If you’re using poppers, small jig, wooly worm or something similar you want to give it some action but something like dry flies you let sit and drift.

That sounds like a clinch knot. It is used for attaching hooks and lures to standing line.

I only know/use cinch knot & nail knot. The ****ing fish don't give a shit what knot is on that fly, they only care about what fly is on the knot

The knots aren't hard to learn at all and they may offer increased line strength and ease of tying. I'd rather fiddle with a surgeon's knot than a blood knot while standing in the middle of a river in low light conditions.

The biggest difference between knots is how much strength they cause your line to lose. As the knot is being cinched down it rubs against itself flattening, fray, even slightly cutting the line. Some knots are worse about this than others. Seems like the cinch knot retains around 80% line strength but I’m pulling that from memory.
