What is this knot called?

I haven't seen this knot anywhere. It was shown to me by a Salmon fisherman.
It is tied so the knot is on the underside of a down turned eye, and on the
top of an upturned eye.

Looks like a Gordian knot to me.

Yep, that's it. I was starting to wonder if my attempt at humor had
gone right over everyone's head.

One of those things where the comment was so accurate that nobody said
anything? And then it led to the thoughts of what kind of knots the
snakes of the Gorgon could have tied...

.. . . and isn't the purpose of that knot to enable the user to determine
whether the hook rides up or down? ? ?

To put an in-line force from the line to the shank of up- or down-turned
eye hooks, thus making hookup more certain.
