A turle knot is a knot used while fishing for tying a hook or fly to a leader. It is named after William Greer Turle, a 19th-century English angler who popularized the knot but did not claim to have invented it. It has sometimes, wrongly, been referred to as the turtle knot.Geoffrey Budworth, "The Complete Book of Fishing Knots" (New York: The Lyons Press, 1999), 108-111.]
