IT'S ALL IN THE EYE OF THE HOOK
When it comes to dressing hooks, the tyer looks to see what hook is called for by the fly pattern, manufacturer, model number, and size. Little thought is given to the eye of the hook; is it an up-eye, straight (horizontal or vertical alignment), or a down-eye hook. What difference does it make, which way the eye is, in relation to the hook shank?
