What makes Waterwisp flies different from other so-called upside-down flies?
Three special features. First, other “upside-down” flies have the hackle at the eye of the fly. Waterwisp flies have the hackle tied to the bend of the hook. Second, the eye of the Waterwisp fly is vertical, to help reduce microdrag. Third, the shank of the Waterwisp hook is angled for balance and to imitate an insect body sitting in the surface film.
