Today I have read an article about the upside-down fly design. Has any
one ever tied this pattern? Could you please share about your upside-
down fly pattern?


....never heard of an upside down fly before.
What article did you read?
Where was the article?


He could be talking about the Waterwisp.

I didn't see, so I didn't follow his link, and have no intention of
looking for it, but simply from the information at hand, I suspect he
may be talking about keel flies...there was at least one book in the 70s
about these...I've "tied" (really, made - it's more that a tie) snagless
Sallies for bass this way. Keels are a special-purpose fly/lure, on a
special hook, and unless recipe supports it and the reason is there,
there's, um, well, no reason. And in fact, simply tying any ol' fly
upside down can take a decent recipe and **** it up.
