The Essential Guide to Fly Fishing Knots
# 6. Perfection Loop
The Perfection Loop loop-to-loop method of attaching a tapered leader to the fly line.
Step 1: Make a loop to the rear of the line. The end of the line should be going to the tier’s right. Make sure you leave yourself some extra line.
Step 2: Take the tag end and wrap it around the base of the first loop. This will create a loop in front of the first loop. Be sure to hold both loops together.
Step 3: Take the tag end of the line and place it between the two loops and hold it all down. The end of the line will be pointing to the tier’s left.
Step 4: Reach behind the first loop and grab the second loop (the one closer to you) from behind and pull it through. *It is important to make sure that the tag end of the line does not slip out.
Step 5: Lubricate the knot with saliva or water, tighten, and trim the excess.
Best Wishes, Coyalita
