Was at a steelhead seminar Sat. and the instructor said he uses the 16-20 ( pitzen ) knot exclusively . Since this knot is missing from your list i am wondering if there is some fault in this knot . If not could you put it on your list so we can down load and print it off for stream reference ? Thank you !
where is this knot used? fly to tippet? I use an improved clinch knot and tied correctly, you'll bend a hook before that knot fails.
yes fly to tippet
Probably a lot of fine knots missing. Just one I never use.
thank you !!
One of the best knots I have used and easy for a dummy like me to tie. In case somebody wants a link:

In total agreement with Panman. Although it seems the link Tim provided might have some errors in the tying sequence or I'm just misreading it. Very possible lately.
Picture frame #4 seems to get to the same/correct point, although I'm not sure how. Keep in mind that it is very important that the tag goes through the top half of the bisected loop formed in the first step. Here's the sequence as I learned it;

My go to knot for several years now, no issues, total confidence in it's strength. Best of all it double check's for me with the pop.
My apologies if this was unnecessary or I've confused things.
