Fishing hook tying apparatus includes a housing with a shaft mounted therein for rotation about the longitudinal axis. An end of the shaft protrudes from one end of the housing to form a chuck including resilient jaws and a longitudinally movable collar. The chuck is formed to grasp the shank of a fishing hook in a closed-jaws position and to release the fishing hook in an open-jaws position. A lanyard with a free end and an end attached to the shaft has a wound-position and an unwound-position. A spring is attached to the shaft and to the housing so as to produce a winding bias on the shaft when the lanyard is moved from the wound-position to the unwound-position. The winding bias tends to rotate the shaft from the unwound position of the lanyard to the wound position of the lanyard.
