In UK there is a small operation called "fishing-with-style". Are you associated with them or is this just coincidence?

dd, it has to be a coincidence. I have never been associated with style of any sort.

Does the organization deal with the type of hook that was given to me?

I doubt it.

Ok, now I am really confused.

Dubbn,
You are doing great stuff. However, when I tried to purchase some up-eyes (uppity-eyes?) from my local fly-fishing and fly-tying outfitters, I was told that they didn't carry them because they weren't "in style" now. I think that was one reason that Pete Hidy liked them—although he said the angle of attachment to the leader helped them swim better. I find it just as confusing as you do. Your fly would be a winner regardless of the eye style.

Your flies have style and you fish with them!!

Thank you sir! I appreciate that very very much.

I liked the fly very much. The hook is really sweet. I have a deep fondness for up eye hooks like this. Thanks for showing us both.
