Turle Knot
The
Turle knot is ideal when tying on flies with turned-up
or turned-down eyes to your leader. This gives your
fly good action because of the way the knot causes the
leader to pull away from the hook. It can be tied with
one or two wraps of an overhand knot.
Step 1. Pass the leader end through the hook-eye. Take
two wraps around the standing line and pass the tag
end through the loops forming a simple overhand knot.
Tighten it down.
Step 2. Pass the fly through the large loop formed and
snug it against the hook-eye.
Step 3. Tighten down and trim off the excess.
