@BugabooTucker Actually the 'double' refers to how many loops you make. A single fisherman's would only make one loop for the end to go through.

@BugabooTucker that was a double fisher man knot a single fisher man you wrap only once. your thinking of a grape vine knot which is to apposing double fisher man knots (grape vine knot also known as double fisher man knot even though it uses two double fisher man knots

That Fishermans looks like a blood knot.

the Figure Eight Follow Through is also called a Surgeon's Knot or a Surgeon's Loop. The technique used in this video is actually harder than that employed by flyfishermen.Also, you've only shown the single fisherman's knot, the double fisherman's knot is employed when we join two lines or two ropes together. As such, you need two lines.
