I just discovered your channel last night Jude. I am using this knot in future for my casts. I also enjoyed your flytying tutorials. Thank you from your neighbor to the west in AZ
When you tie your dropper flies on a tag, you may find you are tying on with very little tippet. I find it VERY helpful to focus on turning BOTH hands when wrapping down toward the eye. As you perfectly demonstrated !!! :) Great stuff again Jude !
Wow and I thought i knew everything about fly fishing, kidding of course. Easier than a clinch knot, smaller and stronger. Thank you and look forward to more of your videos.
@@duranjude1 I tried this knot last week for the first time on some nice browns in New Zealand. NO BREAK-OFFS! (Only fish lost were from me striking too soon.)
Thanks for post. Looking forward to trying. As I get older, my eyes aren't what they used to be and fingers not as nimble and this knot looks like it's easier than improved clinch especially with 5x. Tight lines
Liked your presentation. But From a guy who has been casting flies for 60 years, I have a saying when it comes to hooks and knots. How sharp is sharp and how strong is strong. Your knot is pretty cool, but I have used both Clinch and Davey knots all my life and they work just fine. It becomes a matter of whatever you are comfortable in tying. I'm not saying your knot isnt good. Just saying some of us old farts are set in our ways and have caught thousands of fish using the old fashioned "weak" knots. Nice presentation.
I'm sitting in my kids room waiting for them to fall asleep with a laptop, 7x tippet, some tiny swivels, and a headlamp. I stopped using all tippet sizes smaller than about 4x because the damn clinch breaks so easily. I've lost some really good fish because of it. I am practicing this knot over and over again because it looks like I can tie on small nymph on just by swinging it around the loop and main line, or by using my hemostats. Cold hands make tying knots really really rough! That said is this knot going to be stronger or as strong as a triple surgeons knot? I do not see the point in having 2lb breaking line, with a knot that can hold up to 1.7lbs, on a triple surgeons that can only hold 1.3 or 1.5 lbs. The 16-20 will hold up just fine, the triple surgeons knot is still going to lose my rig and fish =(
Thank you Jude. I’ve been using the Double Davy knot for about 5 years now and I really like the strength of it and it is so great with small flies. You do a great job with your videos.
