The knots you tie are critical to your success when learning how to fish. After all your line is all that connects you to the fish you're patiently waiting to catch; no one wants to lose a potential catch due to a poorly tied (or chosen) knot.

Different situations call for different knots. The knots needed for tying fishing line to a hook are different from the knots needed to join two sections of line together.

To be prepared for anything learn these knots before you hit the water.
