I use a clinch knot, but sometimes i run the line back through to make a stronger clinch knot when i feel like it.

Depending on how cranky purist you want to get, the best knot I have found for using very little tippet is the fastsnap - I prefer the ones from Northland Tackle. Granted, I am fishing warmwater - not finickey trout, and mostly wet flies. But I tend to hop around with different patterns, so it saves me a lot of time, frustration, and tippet.

My favorite knot is the Duncan Loop knot. I'm convinced that the this open loop knot give much more natural movement of the fly. I haven't done a study to prove it, but I feel that the added movement of the fly has also increased the number of strikes I get from fish. I use this not on almost all wet patterns I fish now.
