Hunting fishing and camping have always been more that
technique for me, sort of a life experience. Since I started fishing as a little kid, I've found knots important whether tying the boat to a dock pole or tying on a # 22 dry fly. Today started getting ready for a fishing trip, and was thinking about some new leader material. Then I realized that in my mind I think not of the name of the knot, but the name of the person that taught me the knot. My favorite knobs are the Bob Becker, the Ratajczak, the Gram Doll, the Dave, The Chicago Guy,and the Kellerhouse. I have learned (and forgotten hundreds of knots) but these are the ones I use most often. And while most of my Knotty above friends have passed, the memory of teaching a nimrod remains strong. Maybe the moral of this is ...Teach a kid a good knot today and you will live on his memory. |

My Gram Doll knot is actually a knot she taught me in
sewing. In fishing it is a double surgeons knot. My bro' only uses a granny for everything, I call it his tight knot on a loose line!! |
