INTRODUCING KNOT NERDS... A KNOT AND RIGGING VIDEO SERIES DESIGNED TO HELP YOU BECOME MORE PROFICIENT ON THE WATER. Getting into fly fishing requires patience, attention to detail, a desire to explore nature and a few key knots to get going. Forming strong connections between your flies and the rod tip is one of the most important factors to having consistent success in the field.
