change of schedule

We will be going to Gallup Park this thursday We will be at the end of the road at a little bay where there are a lot of sunfish. We will learn to fly cast next tuesday, then back on schedule

knots to know

The first set of pictures show a clinch knot. This is the most used knot for fishing . It is used to tie the hook or fly to the line.
this is a great Knot tying site with animations





SURGEON’S KNOT (the last picture) – This makes it easy to join two lines, but one line must be short, since you
have to bring the one end through the formed overhand loop. As with other lines, use a lot of
overlapping line so that you can pull on all four ends to properly pull tight. Work with both lines
together as you tie this, and make sure that both loops are the same size to assure a strong knot.



LOOP KNOTS (middle picture)
Use loop knots to make a loop in the end of a rig to which the line can be tied or to make
two loops for an interconnecting loop system of attaching tackle parts.
SURGEON’S LOOP – This knot is similar to the Surgeon’s Knot for joining lines. To make this,
fold over the tag end of line and form the knot using both strands to make a double overhand knot.
Pull up carefully on both the two ends and the loop. #1
