you all know that I have been working at Bass Pro in the White River Fly
Shop.
for the past year I have been showing people how to tie the Davy knot.
The only time it doesn’t hold well is with 5 or 6X tippet on larger hook
eyes.
otherwise I use it because it is easier to tie and also wastes less tippet.
Thank You,

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not
for being in the country illegally ...you might live in a country founded by
geniuses but run by idiots.

BTW. To keep this fishing related, I normally use an improved clinch knot,
which is getting harder and harder for me to tie onto small hooks. Can
somebody tell me of a knot that is just as strong, but less strain on the
eyeballs to tie?? Thanks, Chuck
How about the Davy knot?

The only thing easier is an overhand knot - and it doesn't hold. All
you're doing with this knot is tying an overhand and then locking it.
