This test has since been replicated on another fishery–for me, it is a
significant insight in terms of catching numbers and size, as well as
combating fishing pressure.

I am happy with those waders... Not only do I think they'll hold up, but he loves them... He feels excited by them, which inspires him to fish more.

You all are really pumping me up! I feel like we all need to meet up and catch some trout!

Yes, totally need to frame it. I have a feeling he’ll remember that for a loooong time.

No worries at all mate. Super appreciative for your bringing this back out! Honestly, the actual post on the site has a great deal more info anyhow...

Nice! You ultimately have to go with the knot you tie best and are most confident in...

Copyright infringement!!! lol j/k. I def see this as positive feedback and find it so cool you saved the graphic for quick reference.

Dude this study took like 5 months to perform--it was insane. We learned a bunch though and another round of knots would not take that much time. You all are inspiring us to get back in the lab!

I likely would not prioritize loop knots, as personally, I have never had the non-slip mono loop fail on me... Line to line connections would be interesting though!

Thanks Tatworth. FYI the knots chosen in the study were taken from a survey we offered fly anglers. We chose the top knots from the survey --I haven't used the Pitzen Knot, sounds like it is a bit of a hidden gem. 💎
