Thanks for the great write up, Pat. It is all very useful information for a variety of tackle.
I have used the animated knots site a lot over the years. I know when I don't use a knot for awhile I need somewhere to go for a refresher course.[

Another device I've used the last few years to attach the leader to fly line is a slip on leader loop by Cortland. I never was fond of tying the nail knot with the heavy butt section of a tapered leader onto the fly line. Most tapered leaders come tied with a perfection loop so it is an easy connection although not the smoothest.
Thanks again for trying to educate us all.[
