i TURLE KNOT

This knot is used by fishermen to tie flies with
turned-up or turned-down eyes to the tippet.
It is not suitable for use with ring-eye hooks.
The knot was named after Major Turle of
Devon, England, in 1884. The line is passed
through the eye of the hook, the knot is tied
and then the hook is drawn through the loop of
the knot.
