fishwitz 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Does anyone know the Scotch hitch? Know of a clear diagram for it? You may know it by another name. It's a variation on the half-hitch, apparently with some sort of loop added. It's inadequately illustrated with small black & white photos in Rex Gerlach's 1974 book, Creative Fly Tying and Fly Fishing, which describes it as follows: "This is a positive locking knot, slightly bulkier than the half-hitch, useful for knotting the windings on bulky body materials like polar bear hair that otherwise might have a tendency to pull loose."
