I use this all the time to connect my braided mainline to my mono or fluorocarbon leaders: The Uni Knot. It takes a little practice, but it is easy once you get the hang of it!
Underwater Photos: The Rejection
Sometimes everything can be right…the cast, the drift, the bait…and still the fish don’t get hooked. Here’s an interesting scene I shot on a tributary to the Togiak River in Alaska, where a nice Dolly Varden does a fly-by on roe cluster but doesn’t commit to the bait.
The Dolly Varden makes his move…
But something just isn’t right…the close proximity of the camera perhaps?
Even that milky goodness seeping out of the bait wasn’t enough for this guy! Why do you think he didn’t go all in?

Underwater Photos: Dolly Varden attacks a glob of eggs
Okay, more from my Alaska files…Here’s a cluster of roe drifted down a run on the Togiak River loaded with Dolly Varden (some rainbows and jacks were in there too). I always cut the points off the hooks while filming (if a fish got hooked, it caused too much camera shake). This sequence is cool as one dolly rejects the bait and another comes out of the pack to eat it!
A dolly varden lines up on the scent trail of the bait…
At the last minute, he rejects the bait…perhaps the camera scares him off.
Check this guy out, though…coming out of the pack to attack
No turning back now!
Going in for the kill!
Tastes good!
Full commitment!
