Northwest Fishing Reports

I have no idea what I am doing but wanted to share with everyone a good knot site. This is the site I use most often when trying to learn a new knot.

It doesn't have a whole lot of knots but it covers about 2 dozen and is very user friendly.

Another good site that pretty much covers the same knots, but might be easier for some is this site

Neither of these sites show how to tie a worm harness or mooching rig set up. But after serching I have found out that you can just tie the 2 egg loops or snells back to back. I prefer the egg loops.

I have the "knot cards" (fishing and boating) in the glove box of my boat. I don't tie a lot of knots, and sometimes it's hard to remember how to tie certain ones. They are worth every penny.

Yes the knot cards will be my next investment. Do you remember where you purchased yours? There are some knots that arnt for everyday use and even though I can tie them now, doesn't mean I will remember how to tie it, when I need it 3 months down the road .

I have seem them at Wal-Mart

For people that have iphones I downloaded the pro knot app to my phone, have all the knots and step by step pictures showing how to tie them, comes in handy when I cant remember how to tie a knot.

My 8 year old and I build what we like to call "The Knot Machine" I have 3 different knots tied on each side hanging off of eyelets and 3 large eyelets down the middel you can use to practice with. If I was at home Id upload a pic.

Knot Wars

I saw this on TV a couple of years ago and was impressed with the results. As it documents actual break strength of the various knots in applications that we all use, I found it to be a great resource. After watching the videos, I started to use the leader knot to join my mono or flouro leader to my braided main line.
