There is a review of many common knots on one of our old flyclub newsletters at:
http://www.geocities.com/contrabandflycasters/augnews.pdf Warning!! This site does noty have a lot of bandwidth allowed!! (bandwidth is regulated per hour) The review has uniknot, perfection loop, nonslip mono loop, rapala loop, as well as other common knots. Hadn't seen the cone knot before Jerry...I might have to give that one a try. It will be a while though. I had a problem with my prosthetic leg a week ago, and that caused a large blood blister on the stump. no prosthetic until that heals (the problem in the prosthetic was a small piece of foam which came unglued and fell into the wrong postion, easily fixed...just wished I healed as fast). So no fishing for me, I'm stuck in the wheelchair for a while...access around here to common fishing sites is still limited, with my favorite sites still only being allowed access to people who live(d) there...Rita made a mess of things. Only a couple of boat launches open as well, so you have to haul; your boat a good ways before you can put in (sold my boat just a few weeks before Rita hit, now noone knows where it went...guy I sold it to said he tied it to a tree by Calcasieu Lake...but he can't find the tree. Across from that spot there is a shrimp trawler 9 feet up in some trees).
