How do you properly tie a hook knot for fishing?

To properly tie a hook knot for fishing, follow these steps:

1. Thread the line through the eye of the hook and double it back.
2. Twist the doubled line around the standing line 5-7 times.
3. Thread the end of the doubled line through the loop near the eye of the hook.
4. Moisten the knot and pull it tight. This knot is called the improved clinch knot and is commonly used for securing hooks to fishing line.
