No doubt everyone has their favorite knots, be it to join fly line & leader to tippet to fly. I have been using the simple Davy knot for quite some time. Last week low hanging bushes and rocky bottom gave my knot a good test. Not once did it break loose from my fly. When caught between rocks I would move into position where I could use my staff to redirect the angle and pull my fly to safety. BTW I was using 7X tippet. A steady pull while caught up in the brush released my fly although each time I expected that the tippet wouldn't hold.[/size][/#008000][/font]
