Loop Knots for Nymphing #2: Perfection

This is how I tie on a nymph using a Perfection Loop versus a Non-Slip End Loop.  It's easier, faster, and just as strong.  As an added bonus, the end result produces a smaller knot and it's easier to control the size of your loop.  I've even used it for streamers when I'm changing flies often to find the one the fish like.  I use this loop for a dropper from a nymph as well as for something like an emerger tied behind a dry fly.  Let me know what you think!

A good friend Kyle Nelson said "If you want to catch a big fish, huck streamers.  If you want to catch a LOT of fish, nymph."  I never really nymph fished much until I moved to Bozeman some time ago.  Since then, I've found Kyle's words to be true.  This short video talks about the advantages of loop knots for a trailing nymph vs. a clinch knot.  A video on tying a perfection loop with a nymph is soon to follow!  Fish On!
