A fly fishing lure having a hook which includes a shank portion adjacent the eye and a sharp barbed end in substantial alignment with a projection of the aforementioned shank portion. Intermediate the eye and the sharp barbed end the hook shank includes portions offset downwardly from the eye and sharp end such that the majority of the weight of the hook and lure functions as a "keel" to orient the lure such that the barbed end is disposed upwardly. Fly material is disposed adjacent the eye, and additional fly material is mounted upon the arcuate hook portion contributing to the low center of gravity and "keel" action. As used in a dry fly fishing lure adapted to rest upon the water surface, the invention contemplates the use of two groups of fly material strands in angularly disposed relationship to each other to aid in the lure floatation. In a wet lure embodiment the inventive concept encompasses the use of an additional metallic weight, such as in the form of wound wire, upon the hook portion constituting the "keel" of the lure.
