The only difference between the clinch knot and the
improved clinch knot is, one will hold a strong fish
and the other may not. With that said, most will
strongly recommend taking the extra time to 'lock'
the end back through the loop before tightening.
Simply stated, the improved clinch knot is far
superior to the standard clinch on all large and
medium flies. I use it down to size eighteen. ~ J. Castwell
