Up Eye Dry Fly Hooks

[Donald Nicolson]

I remembered readin something somewhere about up-eyed as opposed to down-eyed hooks.
It was in Halford's first book on Dry Flies. You will note he was indifferent to either,
it's not often I agree with his opinions. The ease in tying on the fly was more important.
