Also known as the: Angler's knot, English knot, Englishman's bend, Halibut knot, True Lover's bend, Waterman's knot.  The Fisherman's knot is used to tie two ropes of equal thickness together. It is used by
fishermen to join fishing line, and is very effective with small diameter strings andtwines.

Tie a ovrhand knot, in the running end of the first rope around the second rope. Then tie aovrhand knot in
the second rope, around the first rope. Note the overhand knots are tied such they lie snugly against each
other when the standing ends are pulled. When tying knots in monofilament line, moisten the line before
pulling the knot tight.  This helps to stop the line heating up with friction, which weakens it.
