A fishing fly, particularly of the dry fly variety, which orients itself when cast so that the point of the hook is naturally pointing upwards when the fly lands on the water (W). The fly is of a reverse and inverse design, having hackles (118) and wings (116) positioned on the curved shape portion of the hook (100), the wings directed tangentially along the shape portion at an angle to the spear of the hook (100). The dry fly is tied by winding the hackles axially around the shape portion of the hook so that the hackle fibers protrude radially in a plane generally parallel to the shank of the hook between the shank and spear of the hook. Preferably, the hook has a wide gape and an elliptical eye approximately coplanar to the shank and shape of the hook so that the eye can remain secured in a vise throughout the fly-tying process. |
