How to tie a fishing hook to a line
Fishing knot, quick tutorial for beginners, quick and easy and very strong knot to tie a fishing hook to a fishing line. This is my favorite knot but I don't know it's name. If you know some name or if you use this knot please tell me yours impressions. After you learn this knot, try to learn advanced techniques in another tutorials that comes after this one. This is good technique for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. I recommend for monofilament line from size 0.10 to 0.80 mm.

Glacier is a backpacking paradise. The park consistently ranks as one of the most popular backpacking parks in the NPS. Famous for its towering mountains, pristine alpine lakes, abundant wildlife, and its 700+ miles of trails, this amazing place is growing in popularity each year.
Many resources are available online for backcountry users to plan their trips. The most important is theBackcountry Guide that is available as a PDF file. Around mid to late-May, we begin updating other resources that are helpful in trip planning (links are listed in step 2 below). Follow the steps below to start planning your summer adventure. For a winter backcountry permit, please visit our Winter page.
Step 1 - Read the Backcountry Camping Guide
Glacier National Park's current Backcountry Camping Guide is now available online as a PDF document. Please read through the entire Guide. Changes may effect your planned route. Incorrectly completed applications will be returned unprocessed, decreasing your chances of obtaining your trip planned.
All advanced reservation requests received from January 1 through April 15, 2015 are eligible for the advanced reservation request lottery. The lottery processing begins on April 16, 2015. Each reservation application will be designated a randomly generated number and will be processed in that order. It can take up to a month to process all the advance reservation requests received in the lottery. Advanced reservation requests that are received after April 15 will be processed in the order of receipt and after the initial advanced reservation requests are processed.

Day Trip Plan
If you are taking a day hike, please consider completing the voluntary Day Trip Plan form and leaving it with the front desk of your hotel or a traveling companion that is not hiking with you. This voluntary form can help you plan your trip and could be a valuable tool for search and rescue efforts if needed.
Please understand that completion of this form does not mean a search will be initiated for you if you do not return. However, if you are reported overdue from a hike, this document would help search personnel concentrate search efforts along your intended route saving critical time and possibly reducing risks to those that go looking for you.
If you are staying inside the park, you are welcome to leave a copy of this form with your hotel's front desk. All forms will be destroyed 30 days after the date completed. Again, this form is not intended to imply that our hotel concessioner or the National Park Service will be monitoring your return and does not mean a search will be initiated. If a search is initiated because others reported you overdue, the National Park Service will check with the hotels to see if a Day Trip Plan was filed and use it to help focus their search efforts. Plan well and enjoy your hike!
