So you've come over to the 'fairy flinging' side and posted to the fly -board! Dare you to suggest tipping your fly with some tyedye-crawler! haha!!!

I'm absolutely NOT the right person to suggest correct fly-fishing riggings, but don't think swivels are typically used. You don't have the line-twisting spinning action you're used to with your Blue-Foxes. Plus - except for the tippet - don't believe fly line is as prone to twist - as most are more rigid by nature.
I've gotten away from using them even with topwater lures - poppers and such. The nose-diving really messes up their action.
Here is a TD writeup on the TripleSlipKnot. Don't know if it's a good fly-knot, but the guy swears by it. Claims he can tie it blindfolded behind his back!
As for jumping on the Goddess - who's saying she even PM'd YOUR secret spot? Sounds like other folks know about it, and can't be that remote if you're running to and from Sportsman's. (you can PM me the location if you dare)
I'd suggest she deserves a bit more respect, and for someone new to fly-fishing, SHE is someone you could learn a hell of a lot from! So get yer hackles down dude!

Anywho - nice fish.
