Tip
Tip: Use loop knots on all streamers so the fly can wiggle freely
How to do it: Tie streamers with a loop knot that allows the fly to move naturally in the water
Mistake it fixes: Tying streamers tight to the leader
Why it works: A tight knot restricts fly movement. A loop knot lets the fly wiggle and swim, which is the trigger for many strikes.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing
