With the lead, does that make them ride hook up? The lead lays on the top of the hook shank, making the hook flip over? How about doing a bend back hook?

Steelhead, if your using LEAD it will be placed on the bottom of the fly.1. it weigh more than the hook.
2. it's at the back 2/3 of the fly.
3. the hook if upside down in the fly, it's facing UP. as it is in the PIC.
does that help. they will be w/ me in a frame.
GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN

Yep. So it rides hook up, like a clouser. Perfect for bottom dredging....
I fish some docks here late at night that those buggers free swim and I've seen bass come out of the shadows and nail them. I bet that would be good unweighted for those situations as well!
