Of course, this knot can be used by any fly fisher throwing medium to large bodied flies, be it river, stillwater or salt. I have extensively used it for stillwater patterns. The knot allows for greater movement of the fly with the hinging effect. I have never had the slightest sense I missed hookups from the hits while using this knot. An easy knot to learn. I long ago copied and laminated the knot’s image and tucked it into my pontoon boat’s side pocket. I know it now, but several times on a lake I have pulled it out to show a tethered FFer as I offered advice on how to lose that 10# tippet for that size 12 fly…and use this knot. May I say, one of the most rewarding aspects of fly fishing, for me and perhaps you, is to assist someone less knowledgeable re rigging or fly selection or presentation. To share a few hot patterns and see them work is very satisfying.

I just started using thta knot and like it. The part i wanted to comment on was helping out some lesser knowledged flyfisherman to enjoy the beautiful art of catching not just casting. Th eother day I was working on a good day in my favorite hole hooking fish often a guy just down river was shaking his head. after a while I walked up and asked what he was using.I hooked him up with double rig setup emerger and nymph. A few minutes later he had his first of three fish. Made my day and his too. Practicing random acts of kindness become contagious.
