Default The Davey Wotton Knot??

Hi All, Does anyone have a diagram of the Davey Wotton knot, which is brill for small flies. My memory has turned to dust and I can't remember the tying sequence.

Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards

Default Thank you. And I mean that.

Some times we 'Yanks'(well, a transplanted Canadian) get it right.

That's a leader knot though, isn't it?

Weren't you looking for this one?

Pitzen knot, a fishing knot easy and fast to tie.

Site above has both knots and flipping from the Pitzen to the Davy can't see any difference. What am I missing?

The ''Davy Knot'' is a simple version of a ''Timber Hitch''

Just tried this and it seems pretty good and so much quicker than the tucked half blood that I usually use. Thanks. Alan.
