1. Pass the tag end of the tippet through the eye of the fly hook and make 5-7 wraps around the standing line.

2. Take the tag end and pass it through the loop closest to the eye of the hook.

3. Moisten the knot with water or saliva to lubricate it.

4. Pull both the tag end and the standing line simultaneously to tighten the knot.

5. Trim the tag end closely to the knot.
