Scott,

I did bend the eye down, although it's not really necessary since this was a practice fly. I also use 3366's, smaller ones in sizes 8 and 10, to tie Bergman wet flies for displays. I love the look of the hook and also the big barb, not great for fishing, but looks more like the older hooks these patterns were originally tied on. Below is a Tycoon, tied on a size 8 Mustad 3366 with the eye bent down:



Regards,

Alberto
