The
Improved Clinch knot is used for fastening the leader to the
fly. If you are using over 12 Lb. test line, this is not a
recommended knot.
Step 1. Thread your leader tippet through the eye of the hook.
Wrap the end of the leader around the standing line 5 times
for lines up to 8lb test and 4 times for lines from 8-12lb
test. (You can also turn the hook 5 or 4 times)
Step 2. Take the tag end of the leader and pass it through
the gap between the eye of the hook and the first wrap. Continue
the tag end back up through the main loop just formed.
Step 3. Moisten the knot with your mouth, and while holding
the hook in your left-hand pull on the standing leader allowing
the knot to seat tightly against the hook. Clip the excess
line. |
