TUESDAY TIP - Knot Tying March - "Basic Knots from Backing to Reel" by @northwestflygirl. #uwotftuesdaytip

You'll probably get 10 different answers if you ask an angler what knot they use for tying tippet to their fly. Like everything in this sport, fishing knots are an evolution. Learn the basics first, then if you need to, learn a few speciality knots.

There are a few websites that we recommend when learning to tie knots. [LINK IN BIO]

Reel to Backing -
Arbor Knot - Foundational knot that you can use to secure backing on a fly reel or braided, monofilament or any fishing line to the arbor of any fishing reel.

Backing to Fly Line -
Albright Knot- The Albright Knot is useful to connect lines of different diameters, or attaching a fly line to its backing.

Nail Knot - The Nail Knot is used to join two lines of different diameters. It is useful for attaching your backing to the fly line, and your fly line to the leader, or tippet.

Fly Line to Leader-
Clinch - Treat the fly line welded loop like the eye of a hook and tie it in. No need to improve, it add extra bulk.

Loop to Loop - This is a method of joining two loops.

Nail Knot - The Nail Knot makes a smooth compact knot that readily passes through the guides.

Leader to Tippet or Tippet to Tippet -
Double Surgeon's Knot - Quick and easy. Used for joining lines of equal or unequal diameters.

Blood Knot - Used for joining two lines together. It works best with lines of approximately equal diameter.

Tippet to Fly -
Clinch - Best with light tippets and small flies.

Improved Clinch - When using larger tippet diameters this knot helps hold the tag end into the knot so it will not slip.

Non Slip Loop Knot - The Non-Slip Loop Knot makes a very strong fixed loop in the end of the fishing line.

Tangles, wind knots, catching trees, bulky knots getting stuck in guides and other mishaps are the reality for ALL anglers. Join the #uwotfleadershipteam tonight, Monday 3/1/21 at 6pm PST, for our Monthly Virtual Meeting. It's FREE and gender inclusive.

This will be a fun casually led meeting discussing the basic knots from backing to attaching tippet to the fly. We'll share the knot names, applications, links to learn how to tie each knot and tips for saving time, money and sanity. If you miss the meeting, no worries, March Tuesday Tips are all about knots.

It's a new year! After all 55 @castingforrecovery

It's a new year! After all 55 @castingforrecovery retreats were canceled nationwide in 2020 due to Covid-19, Casting for Recovery is moving forward with their retreats this year with precautions in place to protect those attending.

Casting for Recovery is celebrating 25 years, so it's a biggie! If you know a woman who has or has had breast cancer, please send them their way to apply for a retreat in their area.

There are application deadlines and selection is random to attend. Link in Bio or go to: https://castingforrecovery.org/retreats/ for retreat locales and dates!

And if you'd like to volunteer with a CfR retreat near you, go to: https://castingforrecovery.org/how-you-can-help/volunteer/

Happy Sardine Sunday! #sadinesunday ⁣

@30fishfor30years we’d rather skip chores to fish too! ⁣
・・・⁣
Our power was out so the obvious solution was to skip cleaning the house and go fishing instead. Landed this little guy on a dry! ⁣
