What with the amount of materials placed on the underside of the hook on spey flies,and lots of the Dee style,hackles stroked down to the underside etc,and just a small roof of mallard,or what ever material is used...Surley it would fish upside down! (hook point up!)..But I don't think the eyes were positioned the way they are for this reason ?. It wouldn't make sence!.....Unless there were alot of p1ssed up shrimps about those days doing the back stroke! ;D DAZ. Hi mate, happy new year. On the subject of spey hackles etc: Have a look at www.speypages.comThere is a video of a Lady Caroline being swum through a pool. Very interesting.The fly and the hackles in particular behaves in the exact opposite way to what you would expect. You might have to register to see the vid, but that part of the site is free. Tom

Nice flies there Daz, I go into American salmon websites quite often and they tye and use the spey style of fly a lot, I think they look very good as were some of our old traditional spey type flies which were used to good effect in the past. I like the use of grizzle in that pattern you did and I wouldnt doubt it would take a salmon in the day in high clearing water. Glyn
