The Double Davy Knot was a simple but crucial improvement to the original Davy Knot devised by British angler Davy Wotton. By adding one extra turn, the problem of knot slippage in larger diameter hook wire was solved. It is now the best tippet-to-fly knot on the planet. The Double Davy is an extremely reliable, maximum-strength knot; it forms an ultra-small footprint, and the small tag saves lots of tippet material. Best of all, when using the one-handed “pinch method”, the Double Davy ties up faster and easier than any other knot. No other tippet-to-fly knot has this combination of advantages which should make the Double Davy the first choice of every serious fly fisher. If you pair the Double Davy with the new Infinity Tippet Knot you will have the Dynamic Duo of fly fishing knots. Once mastered these two knots will help you catch more fish with significant gains in tying speed and fish holding strength. Good luck my fellow fly fishers!(The Infinity Tippet Knot is also available on my YouTube channel)
