What tool(s) would be useful for trimming fishing line?
After tying on a new fly when fly fishing, you need to trim the excess string.
As this needs to happen every time, what tool(s) would make the job easier?

I like nail clippers for any mono line, and specialty scissors for braid.

You need something that works with a pinching motion and is on a lanyard for easy access.
Fingernail clippers will work, and there are also fishing specific clippers.
Knives would require two hands and scissors like on a multitool need to be opened with both. Clippers on the other hand are easy to work with just one hand.

Why not just use these. Most people hat a set of these with them all the time ;-)
