The Steering Knot

The last little film in our film series is a steering knot for hooked flies. Do you use a steering knot or do you risk to fish your fly in the wrong angle? Check this out, simple but very effective!

    Having just started salmon fishing and on my first day out hooking a spring salmon, my perfection knot cut through the leader and the fish went. This will be my go to knot from now on. Genius. Thank you so much.

    Just goes to show how important the knots are. The only connection between us and the fish of a lifetime. If any other knots were used might spell disaster and disappointment, frustrating to say the least. Can never over emphasize this subject. Thank you very much Mikael.

    Mikael, would you tie on the tippet line before you dress the fly, as there are no obstuctions to the knot being tied around the hook, or do you attach the fly to the tippet after tying your fly pattern?, by the way this knot is unreal, thank you so much.

    You know better and catch more. I catch a lot on the rapala knot on doubles. Free swinging all the way. What do you think?

    The fly will hang down.. the leader and knot should help stearing the fly in the right way..making it fish balanced...

    @@frodinflies maybe in the slow water, but there's another popular theory (or a stereotype) that a loop makes the fly more playful, just like you underline in your videos, movement of the fly is a key.
