Welcome to Knot Tying

Palomar Knot

By James Castwell

You either hate or love this knot, some swear by it, others at it. It is most commonly used for attaching the fly to the leader or tippet, however the tippet must go the the eye of the hook twice, and the fly must pass through the final loop, which can make it difficult depending on the size of the fly. ~ J. Castwell
