knot question?

[FISHSTALKER]

The improved clinch knot is one that I have used religiously for more years than I want to admit but now I'm perplexed.

I just ordered some of Sigg's flies and was informed that I should use 40# leader between the dodger and the fly. What knot do you suggest?

I know this sounds crazy but out West here, I try to use as light a leader as I can get away with and tie the strongest knot without becoming obtrusive. I fish for Browns mostly these days but uncle Stanley (Stan) has me wearing the magnetic strip off of my credit cards to take after Coho Salmon.

I search back a couple of pages and didn't find anything about rigging flies or different ways to rig flies. I kind of understand the concept of the heftier leader adding more motion to the fly.

Thanks,

Dale

i use an overhand knot between fly and flasher. No swivel just a direct connection.

Surgeon loop knot, so you can take it on and off the flasher/dodger without cutting.

overhand knot. Then a large snap on the loop. easy on easy off any attractor.

Surgeon loop knot....like Tim said. Can't find one good reason to do it any other way? Loop knots don't cost nothin either

Another vote for the surgeon's loop. (small loop)

Overhand.

Ditto, and pump that fly leader up to 50lb it will give the fly more action because it is stiffer.

I use the perfection loop. I also add a heavy swivel to any of my flashers that do not have them.
