Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
Adding the fly to your line is the finishing piece that will help bring the fish in. Use the clinch knot to tie the fly to the tippet on your line. Thread about 5 to 7 inches of tippet through the eye of your fly. Hold the fly in one hand. Use the other hand to wrap the tag end (the loose end of the line, the part used to tie a knot) of the tippet around the standing end (the rest of the line, not used to tie a knot) of the tippet five times.
