Adding Tippet to the Fly-Fishing Line

Posted by Donnie On 6:57 PM No comments
Now that you have your leader connected to your fly line, it's time to tie your tippet to the end of the leader using the surgeon's knot.

Instructions

    1 Take your piece of tippet and lay it next to the end of your leader. Have the two lay side by side, overlapping 4 to 6 inches.
    2 Tie an overhand knot in the section where the two pieces are doubled together. To do this, hold the lines together as if they were one line and form a loop.
    3 How to Add Tippet to the Fly-Fishing LineBring the end of the leader and the entire end of the tippet through the loop at the same time. Don't pull the loop tight; leave it open.
    4 Double the overhand knot by bringing the same doubled section through the loop you've made once again.
    5 Tighten the surgeon's knot by holding all of the ends and pulling on them firmly and steadily.
    6 Trim the tag ends (the loose end of the line, the part used to tie a knot) of the leader and tippet close to the knot, leaving a little room for movement. This will allow the knot to move a little while in use without slipping apart.
