What knot do you use and where can i find an instructional video of it?

The circle hooks i normally use i connect with a snell to the leader, but i need a knot from the leader to the swivel and swivel to my weight.
Even though I am an avid fly fisherman, I don’t know knots like I should. A good website to learn knots is:

A really handy book for knots is:

My copy of Lefty’s knot book is ruined because of water. The pages stick together after I used the book in the rain by a trout stream. So I’m buying two copies, one for the house where I can use it to make leaders and tie flies, the other to cut out some pages, laminate them and make a knot notebook I can put in my fly gear case.

These two should get you started.
