I have always used the improved clinched knot to attach the fly to the tippet, and have had no problems with it, until now.
It would appear that my eyesight is deteriorating and I am having an awful time in the late evening (you know, when the browns get going) changing flies. Last night, the trout were going crazy gorging themselves with caddis, I stood on the bank for over 20 minutes trying to change flies. I got so frustrated that I gave up and went home (literally almost crying). I do have a headlamp, although the time of day is not late enough to use one.
I have seen somewhere a tippet to fly knot that people tie without even looking at the fly.
Does anyone know what this knot is called and where I can find the directions/instructions to tie it?
