Kayak fly fishing is a ton of fun. Balanced leeches have been killer for me. I came in 3rd in last year's Lifetime kayak fishing tourney fishing the balanced leech against 40 bait and lure guys.
The loop knot is key for fishing the balanced leech but I tie it differently. Instead of going thru the overhand loop after feeding it thru the eye of the hook, I just wrap the tag end around the standing line above the loop twice then thru the overhand knot loop. Much easier to tie, amazingly strong too.
I tried to find the video on the knot but no bruno. You should see this kayak video though to make fly fishing from a yak much easier.
