    Common Knots

    FG Knot:

    • This is a link to Salt Strong. Luke does a great job explaining how to tie it. I use this knot to tie braid to leader material, whether it's monofilament or fluorocarbon. The knot is thin and goes through the guides easily, even with microguides. 

    Palomar knot:

    • For me, this knot is an absolute necessity to know. I use this know to tie my line (or leader) to my terminal tackle, which is usually a tactical clip. Tactical clips are a quick change device that allows me to go from one lure to another really easily. I'll post a video soon to show how to tie the Palomar knot. Check back frequently!
  • Fly Fishing:

    Berkshire Rivers Fly Fishing:

    • If you are looking to book a fly guide, Harry Desmond is your guy! Located in the Southern Berkshires, he has been professionally guiding for a long time and knows Berkshire waters. Check out his youtube videos for evidence of his expertise.

    Berkshire Outfitters:

    • If you need flies for fly fishing, these guys are a go to. While I can tie some flies, it is not really my forte and I don't sell them. Berkshire Outfitters has a great selection of flies and other fly fishing gear. You can also visit them for a lot of other outdoor adventures.
