Davy Knot

This knot has been in use since the 1950s when the Welsh Fly-Fishing Team
has been trying to experiment with fishing knots. It’s quite economical and
portable—mostly because it’s small, but definitely reliable!

Instructions:

1. First, let the tippet pass through the eye, and then have it wrapped
around the running end.

2. Now, let the tippet pass back through the hole.
3. Tag the end to tighten the loop carefully, and then trim to end the
knot.
