Tungsten Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Nice,I like simple.Is up eye the hook to use for wets? Quote
Guest Dennis59 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 SilverDoctor I like very much. I to would like to know the reasoning in the up eye. It does give the fly a certian nice look. I've been using the straight eye (diiechi) for my softhackles. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Quote
SilverDoctor Posted May 4, 2010 Author Posted May 4, 2010 Some of the wets I tie with up eye are done that way for snelled short leaders to the hooks. It's a classic way of presenting droppers with the ability to change up easily without chopping leaders. I often use it when fishing bamboo or swinging wets on the Sey rod. When tying the fly you also tend to leave a longer head area for the purpose of wrapping the snell. Snelling also give you a very straight leader hook connection which is good in some situatons.
