| Baldwin, WI Posts: 27 | I haven't had a chance to see if the trout like it but I did try it out yesterday in muddy water and it seemed to float fine. Anyone have experience with tying this way? (my camera is 6-8 years old so the quality of the photo isn't the best. I have to take the blame for the quality if the tying though.   | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 908 | I've tied and fished various upside down flies over the years. The wing must be flexible enough and/or the hook gapped wide enough to hook fish. They work just fine in terms of fish rising to them. Your fly looks good in terms of silhouette; it should be plenty of attractive to the fish. Let us know how it works. | |
