The Davy knot is excellent and very quick. I have had very few failures with it. Another great advantage is that iit can be tied leaving a short tag that does not have to be trimmed (I know that may sound like blashemy but, hey it's practical). It is amazing how much less tippet and time you save.

Davy has a lot of other great practical advice. If you ever in the area you should consider booking him for a trip.
