Mystery knot? --- Is The Davy Knot

[The General]

Tried it end of last season and lost two flies to fish and that has never happened in a very long time.  Pal tried it as well.  We are back to our normal knots.

r.e. Davy knot.

Sorry to hear it didnae work for you.

My casting instructor showed it to me when I began, and I've used it since.
Think I've only lost one or two fish to a knot failure.

I could be mistaken, but to me that looks like a figure of eight with a hook tied in.
