How to Tie a Clinch Knot to Tie the Fly to the Tippet

What we are doing here we are doing the clinch knot. You put the tippet through the eyelet as you can see. You do your twist 6 to 8 times. Then you take the tip and go through the loop and grab it and remember moisten it an cinch it down. We want this bug to look as real as possible. We want it to float on top of the water. So what we are going to do we got what we call dry float. It is a moistener that we put on the feather, the elk hair. What this does it makes the bug float on top of the water. It is very very important that you have good presentation you don't want this fly to be submerge in the water. Now if it does submerge which I show you here you can really strip in and Brookies and even smaller fish usually like hitting on these flies that just submerge. So you can catch fish either way either on top or underneath if it does get water soak and starts floating under the water.
