What are your favorite fly fishing knots? Tell which are your favorite for each kind of connection, like the following. Here are mine:- Fly line to Leader -- Left Kreh's No-Slip Mono Loop
- Leader to Tippet -- Alberto Knot (But I usually use straight mono as leader)
- Tippet/Leader to Fly -- Trilene Knot
Let us know your favorite backing knot too if you'd like!

- Fly line to Leader -- Perfection Loop
- Leader to Tippet -- Double Surgeon
- Tippet/Leader to Fly -- Left Kreh's No-Slip Mono Loop or Improved Clinch and others for other situations.
This way to tie the clinch knot is awesome for droppers. One rubber leg or one hackle is always getting in there ruining the knot.

Let us know your favorite backing knot too if you'd like!- Definitely two big perfection loops large enough to pass the reel through. With the large loop to loop you can change fly lines on a reel in 15 minutes or less.
