Orvis Knot (for Fluorocarbon)


The ‘Orvis’ Knot

I found the tucked half blood let me down, now I use this knot exclusively, and not just for fluoro.

It was given to me by a bailiff after I nearly gave up in despair (thanks Ray!) and I have never looked back.

Make sure you follow the diagram and for the 2nd and 3rd loops go down.

Pull the loose end first and then the leader and the knot will slip up to the eye of the fly.

I have lifted tree stumps out of Brenig on my top dropper with this knot on 6lb airflo G3.

About the Rigs Page

The Rigs Page is a library of features to illustrate all those rigs that will be useful to both beginners and experienced anglers.

The rigs can be extremely simple and well known, or very complicated and little known, it doesn’t matter providing they make some kind of sense and have a really practical application.

It could be a standard running leger rig that a beginner will appreciate seeing in pictures, or a very complicated anti-eject carp rig that the experienced carp angler would like to see.

If you wish to contribute a rig to this section please remember that the emphasis is on illustration rather than words. Good line drawings are fine in the absence of photographs. Please send to graham@fishingmagic.com
