Does anyone use a bowline knot for attaching flies when you want a loop at the end or for attaching leader material to the fly line?
I had been using a double surgeons knot to attach my leader material to my sink tip on my spey rig and i broke that knot 3 or 4 times when I was snagged. Never broke off the fly, it always broke off the whole leader.
I was a Survival instructor in the Air Force for 9 years and I used a bowline for everything and it never failed me. Yet, I have never seen it mentioned as a fishing knot.
I was watching a video on the perfection loop and it seemed very similar to the bowline.
