Tying a fly lure onto your fishing line may seem daunting at first, but with practice and experience, it can be mastered. The initial step is to choose the appropriate lure for the particular species of fish you are targeting.

Since different fish require different types of lures, it is important to have a clear understanding of which one is suitable before beginning the tying process. Once the appropriate lure is selected, take the loose end of your fishing line and thread it through the eyelet at the top of the lure.

Once you’ve threaded the tag end through, pull approximately four to six inches of line through and then create a loop with both ends in opposite directions. Take one end of this loop and wrap it around both strands approximately three times before pulling it tight against the eyelet. This will form what is known as an ‘overhand knot’.

Next take your other tag end and thread it back through this overhand knot in an opposite direction from which you just tied it (i.e., if you tied it left-to-right thread this one right-to-left). This will then form what’s known as a ‘figure eight knot’ which will help keep your fly secure on your line.

Finally, take both ends of this figure eight knot and tie them together with an overhand knot once more. Make sure that these two knots are snug but not too tight so as not to damage your line or make it difficult to cast. Once you have finished tying these two knots together, trim off any excess line with scissors or nail clippers and your fly should be securely attached to your line!

By following these simple steps, you can easily learn how to tie a reliable fly lure onto your fishing line like a pro! With practice and patience, soon enough you’ll be able to tie knots quickly and confidently – guaranteeing yourself success on every fishing trip!

Conclusion: To successfully attach a fly lure onto your fishing line takes patience, skill, technique, and practice – but once mastered can result in successful fishing trips! By following simple steps such as selecting an appropriate type of lure for the species being fished for; threading one end through its eyelet; creating an ‘overhand knot’ followed by a ‘figure eight knot’; finally tying them together with another overhand knot; then trimming off any excess – anyone can learn how to tie their own reliable fly lures in no time.
