Tying Albright Knots with Fly Fishing Line

Video Transcript

So, the Albright knot is good for a connection like this, where I'm attaching my backing to my fly line. I could also have a heavier piece of mono-filament here and be attaching to a thinner piece of mono-filament, so you need something heavy attach your hook to. So, you're going after a big toothy fish that might abrate a lighter leader material, or like I said, you can use it for backing to fly line. So, make my loop in my heavier material. Stick my thinner material through the loop, pull out plenty so you can make your wraps. Once again, we're going to wrap it back this way. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and just depending on the diameter of the material. Say anywhere from five to ten wraps just to make sure you get a good, snug fit. And then take that loop and stick it back through, the way it came in, so we've got both our ends of the lighter material coming out the front of the loop again. Going to grab the long end, snug it down first. Then we're going to sort of slide that loop up toward the end of my heavier material, pull it down and there we go. The Albright Knot. You can clip it off, clip the thinner material off close here, or you can just tie an overhand knot in it. Just sort of finish it off, snug it back up. That's what it looks like when it's finished.
