I have had a lot of discussion in the last few years on which knot to use, and I've tried all I know of at one time or another. Until now I haven't really had reason to prefer one over another.

This time unfortunately I decided to be extra safe and used a re-threaded figure-8 with the tails tied tidily into fisherman knots a lot like you use on a harness (if you haven't been "enlightened" by the wonderfulness that is the the double-bowline).

In hind-sight (wonderful thing that, always 20/20) I would've used a simple overhand knot so a twist of the rope might let it slide over the edge. I'll probably use that next time a guidebook says watch for snags.

I think double fisherman would've caught just the same as the knot that is currently caught up there.
