Orvis Knot










               Use this knot for fresh or saltwater applications. See the interview below
               with  Tom  Rosenbauer  of  Orvis  to  learn  more  about  the  history  of  this
               knot.


                  1. Pass the tippet through the eye of the lure or fly, coming up from the
                     bottom, and make a loop, as shown here.
                  2. Bring the tag around the standing line, making another loop.


























                  3. Make two turns around the new loop.
                  4. Apply some saliva and pull the fly and the tag end, to tighten against
                     the hook eye. Trim the excess tag.
