hook eye

[alatt]

What style hook-eye do you use, turn down, up, streight. Do you change style depending on hook size.

Down eye for trout flies, straight eye for warmwater patterns, and up-eye for salmon and steelhead flies.

I use down-eye for most flies; straight for streamers and up for some smaller flies.

I use em all. I mainly use down eye for trout but if I am doing catskill classics I will use up eye. Also of I need a certain size I will use whatever I have
