Fishing and knot tying go hand in hand, and this book can help

Anglers who have lost big fish to weak knots are forever regretful. Better to learn the art of knot tying before casting a line. A new book by Lucy Davidson entitled "40 Knots and How to Tie Them" (hard cover, $16.95, Princeton Architectural Press) explains, in straightforward fashion with easy to understand illustrations, knots most everyone should know — anglers especially. Among these are the blood knot, the perfection loop and the dry fly knot. The 37 other knots in Davidson's book will come in handy, too.
