Nice,I like simple.Is up eye the hook to use for wets?

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.

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.

Most wets are tied down eye, I do get orders specific to up eye Some people love the up eye style for a classic look and use.
