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.

And in fact, simply tying any ol' fly
upside down can take a decent recipe and **** it up.

If you choose to strictly follow other people's paterns and never try
to push your own creative fly tying ability, that's your loss. the fly
that i tie works just fine (reverse adams), as do many others that i
tie based on variations of other well known flies. If you chose to use
other people's designs thats fine, but don't discourage the
adventurous tier from attempting their own variations, by saying that
their "****ing up a decent recipe". not only is this ignorant, but
without new fly variations, we wouldn't have any fly patterns to begin
with.
jules, see you on the water.
