Is there a preferred way to insert the tippet though the eye of the
hook depending on the type of fly? (Up thru or down thru the eye?)

Not of any help, but I'm just so damn glad to get it through the eye
that I don't care which direction my fumbling fingers and tumbling fly
have come to be.

true that! i'm gonna have to start bringing my reading glasses along with
me when i fish, and a flaslight for tying at dusk- had to have my son
"thread" a couple flies for me this week because the eye was so small; my
increasingly compromised eyesight failed me.
damn old age! :-(

plus, sometimes it can be a challenge to get to the eye through the fur
surounding it.
