Uni Knots in Fly Fishing

Okay, another knot that we can use, and this is really similar, basically we are going to tie the same knot that we would with the Duncan's Loop, but we are going to pull it all the way down. Some people call it a Uni-Knot, some people just call it a Duncan's Loop, that you, that is not looped, that you close up. So pull it through, give yourself quite a bit of tag and the, we are going to make a complete loop here with our tag in, run that through five times; one, two, three, four, five times and then pull it, tighten it up. So up until this point we are basically, we are tying a Duncan's Loop but instead of leaving that loop open, we are going to pull it all the way down and tighten it against the hook eye. So now, we've got the Uni Knot, real similar to the Duncan's Loop, we're just going to pull it all the way down, like so.
