This is a very well done and concise short video on tying the Pitzen knot. The Pitzen knot made popular by Edgar Pitzenbauer of Germany is easy to tie with not a lot of practice, and gives a knot that retains 95-100% of the tippet's rated strength as opposed to 85% for an improved clinch knot. The Pitzen knot is also more compact by about 40% and allows a neat knot between the tippet and hook and is often a favorite choice by tailwater fishermen who typically use very small flies. It also allows a very nice presentation of the fly without the larger sized knot such as the improved clinch knot.
Bill Frangos of New Mexico Trout demonstrates the Pitzen knot for tying small flies to a leader.
• A stiff, fast action rod will not make you a better caster. • An expensive rod will not make you a better caster. • A new fly line will not make you a better caster. • A casting lesson will make you a better caster. • Casting practice will make you a better caster. • Bushmills Irish Whiskey will make you feel like you are a better caster or at least you won't care as much that your wife can cast further.
