Since a Surgeon's know is two turns, does that mean when people refer to the knot as "double" and "triple" mean four and six turns?

Oh h*ll no!

Thanks, fellas. Hopefully I'll have something to report after tomorrow morning's trip to the beach.

I'm Mike from Atwater Village, California. Been fishing all my life, but only got into fly fishing a couple years ago. Actually, the tying is what interested me the most. It only took tying a couple flies to get me to go buy a fly rod and reel and start learning to fly fish in the Santa Monica Surf....
