Fold a loop in your fly line and tie a knot as you would tie a knot around the shank of a hook, there are a few, don't know their names but any one will do. You go in through the loop you have made, around the doubled up fly line a few times a either back through the loop of the fly line and adjust the knot tight making sure the knot doen't slip over the top of the loop.... or just google it their is loads about knots on line yc.
